Thugs set house of popular Kano musician on fire

Suspected political thugs have set the residence of popular kano political singer, Dauda Kahutu Rarara on fire.

Rarara was at the centre stage of the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign, singing at various rallies while the electioneering lasted.

Rarara was initially on Kano ADP Guber candidate, Shaaban Ibrahim Sharada’s camp, before joining Gawuna’s camp a few weeks to the guber election.

According to an eyewitness, who is also a resident of the area, Yusuf Abdullahi, the thugs invaded the house and started destroying valuables before setting the house on fire.

However, minutes after, the police were said to have dispersed the thugs but the fire was still on while firefighters were yet to arrive at the scene.

“All you can hear is sounds of explosions from the house as the fire continues to damage belongings,” Abdullahi said.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had early Monday declared Abba Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) as the winner of the governorship election.

All attempts to reach Rarara proved abortive as calls and messages were not replied.
