“The prompt response of Fire Service team in the university and security personnel, helped in putting out the fire which prevented it from escalating into other parts of the hostels.

Reacting to the incident, Professor Danjuma Gambo, Director Radio and Public Relations of the university confirned the incident in a statement.

Gambo said that preliminary investigation has revealed that Kerosene explosion, as a result of suspected adulteration, was responsible for the fire.

According to him, three students were affected, with one of them more injured. All of them are undergoing treatment at one of the hospitals in Maiduguri.

“The fire has already been put out by men of the University’s Fire Service Unit. No other parts of the hostel have been affected by the fire.

“This unfortunate incident is regrettable, especially in view of recent efforts by Management to enforce fire safety regulations in student hostels,” said Prof. Gambo.
