The Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has established a committee to investigate the fire outbreak that occurred at the Muhammadu Buhari House, a part of the Governor’s office.
A statement issued by Abdullahi Aliyu Yar’adua, the Director Press to the Secretary to the State Government, said the fire damaged the mini chamber attached to the Governor’s office, but was brought under control by firefighters from both federal and state services before it spread.

The committee, composed of high-ranking government officials, has been asked to unravel the cause of the fire, assess the extent of the damage, identify any lapses that led to the incident, and recommend measures to prevent future occurrences.
