The Kano State Police Command is investigating a case of alleged culpable homicide, mischief by fire, and suspected criminal conduct following a fire outbreak at Amana House, Danbare Quarters in Kano.
According to a statement from the Command, the incident occurred on 19 June 2026 after police at Dorayi Babba Division received a distress report of a fire outbreak at the location. Police operatives were immediately mobilised to the scene, where the fire had already been brought under control.
Upon arrival, officers discovered one Ismail Sidi Muhammad, 27, of Tishama Hotoro Quarters, inside a room with severe injuries, including burns and a head wound. He was rushed to Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital, where he was later confirmed dead while receiving treatment.

Police said the suspect was later seen outside the room raising an alarm that a fire had broken out.
Fatima Abdullahi also sustained burn injuries and is currently receiving treatment at the hospital under police watch.
A search of the scene led to the recovery of three knives, one blood-stained high-heeled shoe, two mobile phones, and the deceased’s white Honda vehicle. The vehicle was found to contain N446,000 in cash.
