Unidentified thugs set fire to the home of a Kano musician, Dauda Kahutu Rarara, just hours after the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) governorship candidate, Abba Kabir Yusuf, was proclaimed winner in Kano State.
The returning officer in Kano, Ahmad Dokko Ibrahim, pronounced Yusuf the victor of the state governorship election.
The NNPP candidate received 1,019,602 votes, while the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate received 890,705 votes.

Rara participated in APC rallies in the state before the governorship election.
Yusuf Abdullahi, an eyewitness and local resident, said the thugs broke into the residence and began destroying things before setting fire to it.
The police were able to disperse the thugs, but the fire was still burning as firefighters arrived on the site.
Abdullahi said, “All you can hear is sounds of explosions from the house as the fire continues to damage belongings.”
