The Gombe state Police command has spoken on a recent fire outbreak that happened at the Kwami Police Barracks.
In a press statement made available to newsmen on Friday, the Police spokesman, ASP Mahid Muazu Abubakar said the fire outbreak in the Barracks only claimed 28 rooms in the Rank and File Building.

The statement read in part: “The incident, which occurred on 14/02/2024, was swiftly contained with the support of both Federal and State Fire Service.
Investigations into the cause of the fire are ongoing. We assure the public that measures are being taken to prevent future occurrences.” the Police Chief further noted.
