Gumi, in the clip, while granting interviews, said: ” I thank God the fire was controlled and there were no casualties.
“Education will continue for the students whose accommodation was on fire. we will look for an alternative place for them.”
Gumi is the current Mufti and Mufassir (Explainer of the Holy Quran) at the Kaduna central mosque, Sultan Bello.
