Bush burning responsible for fire incident at FRCN, Kaduna – Official

The Kaduna State Fire Service has said bush burning was responsible for the fire incident at the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) in Kaduna.

Assistant Commandant of the service, Ayuba Yohanna, made the confirmation on Sunday in a phone conversation with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna.

According to him, the fire started from bush burning at the back of the procurement office.

He said the officers on duty rushed to the scene after receiving the distress call at around 1:45 pm.

Yohanna said two offices at the procurement department were affected with no lives lost or injuries.

NAN recalls that Mohammed Malagi, Minister of Information and National Orientation, visited the FRCN station on Friday where he promised to carry out reforms at both the radio station and NTA.
