The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Alhaji Musa Rabiu Mahuta however led the management staff in the ministry on a condolence visit to the town to sympathise with the commissioner.

An official who was part of the entourage but who pleaded for anonymity, confirmed the incident.

”You know Iam not supposed to speak on this incident, but the country home completely burnt down,” the official disclosed on Saturday evening.
