Wednesday, 19 May 2021: The Borno State government house was on Tuesday afternoon gutted by fire.

CEOAFRICA gathered that the fire started at about 3 pm at one of the powerhouses where generators providing electricity for the entire Government House was situated.

Some personnel said the fire started from the generator, which is about 400 metres to Governor Babagana Zulum’s office, shortly after a technical staff member refilled its tank with petrol.
