The Spokesman of the Kano State Fire Service, Mr Saidu Mohammed, revealed the development in an interview in Kano on Monday.

“We received a distress call from one Malam Auwalu Dala at about 12:40 p.m. that Basa’s body was found floating on a pond.

“On receiving the information, we quickly sent our rescue team to the scene at about 12:58 p.m.

“Basa was found dead and his corpse was later handed over to the police.’’

The spokesman advised parents to prevail on their children and wards to stay away from water bodies to prevent harm coming to them.
