Kano, Nigeria — No fewer than 16 persons have been affected following the collapse of a residential building at Dan Dishe, Kwanar Yashi, in Fagge Local Government Area of Kano State.
The Kano State Fire Service said the incident occurred at about 4:32am on Saturday, August 8, 2026, after its Emergency Response Unit received a distress call from one of its staff members, Aminu Sani Warure, reporting the building collapse.
According to a statement issued by the Service’s Public Relations Officer, ACFO Saminu Yusif Abdullahi, firefighters from the Service’s headquarters were immediately mobilised to the scene. On arrival, they discovered that a residential building measuring approximately 20 by 30 feet had collapsed.
The Service said several victims were rescued alive, including 15-year-old Al-Mustapha Yusuf, seven-year-old Khadija Yusuf, 10-year-old Ummusalama Yusuf, six-year-old Madina Yusuf and nine-year-old Hafsat Yusuf, alongside eight other persons whose identities could not be immediately ascertained.
However, three other victims — five-year-old Affan Yusuf, seven-year-old Hassana Yusuf and nine-month-old Ummulkursum Yusuf — were rescued unconscious from the debris.
The Fire Service said all the victims were subsequently handed over to Usman Ibrahim, the brother of their father, for further necessary attention. The cause of the building collapse remains under investigation, according to the Service.
The Kano State Fire Service, under the leadership of its Director, Alhaji Sani Anas, urged residents to observe necessary safety precautions, particularly during the rainy season, to prevent similar building-related disasters.
