A fire outbreak has destroyed the residence of the 2023 Kaduna State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Isah Ashiru, at the Apo Legislative Quarters in Abuja.
The inferno, which occurred on Sunday, left the entire building in ruins. A video shared by Mr Ashiru shows the house completely razed, with no signs that any belongings were salvaged before the flames consumed the structure.
