The Kano deputy governor has announced that an investigation will be conducted into the burning of the Gwale Local Government secretariat.

 


The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, has expressed his commitment to thoroughly investigate the recent fire outbreak caused by some troublemakers at the Gwale Local Government Secretariat. The incident resulted in significant financial losses due to property damage running into millions of naira.


Gwarzo, who also serves as the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, made this pledge during a visit to the affected site on Saturday evening to assess the extent of the damage. He assured the public that the government would spare no effort in determining the cause of the incident and bringing those responsible to justice.


Expressing deep sadness over the unfortunate event and the resulting losses, Gwarzo stated, "We will work tirelessly to investigate the motive behind this unacceptable act and ensure that anyone involved faces the full consequences of the law." He added, "We understand the frustration and anger this incident has caused, but we ask for your patience and cooperation as we strive to get to the bottom of this."


According to Alhaji Auwal Danbatta, the Director of Personnel for Local Governments, the fire incident took place on Wednesday, December 13, 2023. It affected three departments—Works, Community, and WASH—and caused damage to 18 offices within the Secretariat.


During the inspection visit, Gwarzo was accompanied by former Kano State Deputy Governor Prof. Hafizu Abubakar, the District Head of Gwale, and other high-ranking government officials.
