According to him “the fire incident engulfed a hut where a 30-year-old Khadija Ibrahim was sleeping together with her two daughters, 4-year-old Aisha Ibrahim and 2-year-old Rabi Ibrahim.
He explained that both the mother and her two daughters were completely consumed by the inferno as none of the victims was rescued alive.
