Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady, has expressed her condolences to the families of those killed in a fire that broke out at an Islamic school in Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State, on Tuesday night.
The Zamfara State Police announced that 17 Almajiris (street urchins) died and 17 others were injured in a fire in Zamfara’s Kaura Namoda Local Government Area.
Tinubu expressed his condolences to Zamfara Governor Dauda Lawal on the terrible occurrence in a statement released on Thursday.
“I pray to Allah to console and give the relatives and loved ones of the deceased the strength to bear this agonizing loss.
“This, once again, brings to mind the need for precautionary safety measures in all our public facilities.
“I pray that such will not reccur, not only in Zamfara, but any other part of Nigeria.
“May Allah grant the souls of the departed Aljanah Fridaus,” she said.
