TikTok Influencer's Shop Destroyed in Kano Fire Outbreak


By Ruqayya Ahmad

Fire outbreak devastated the shop of popular TikTok influencer Rahama Saidu, located on UDB Road in Tarauni Local Government Area of Kano State. The incident occurred on Thursday, causing significant damage to her property.

The fire incident occurred shortly after officials from the Kano Urban Planning and Development Authority (KNUPDA) demolished part of Rahama's shop, citing illegal extensions onto public space.

While the cause of the fire remains unconfirmed, it follows escalating tensions between Rahama and KNUPDA, which had previously removed her business signboard for alleged encroachments. In response to these actions, Rahama filed a formal complaint with the Kano State Public Complaint and Anti-Corruption Commission.

Rahama's petition to the anti-graft agency led to the summoning of officials from the Kano Urban Planning and Development Authority (KNUPDA), which sparked intensified enforcement actions in the Tarauni area.

Her shop was targeted for demolition due to claims that it encroached on public pathways. This incident has elicited mixed reactions online, with some users accusing the authorities of harassment while others emphasize the need for urban planning enforcement.

As of now, there have been no reported injuries, and officials have not yet issued a comprehensive statement regarding the fire.

    This is truly heartbreaking for Rahama Saidu and her business. Losing a shop to a fire after facing demolition is devastating, especially when livelihoods are at stake. While urban planning laws are important, authorities should handle such cases with transparency and fairness. I hope there’s a thorough investigation into the fire and that Rahama receives the support she needs to recover. This also highlights the struggles small business owners face with regulatory enforcement.

Balancing Work and Home: The Lives of Working Women and Housewives in Maiduguri

By Jessica Jummai Ayuba  In Maiduguri, women play a crucial role in the city’s social and economic structure. Whether as professionals in the workforce or dedicated housewives, these women contribute significantly to the stability and growth of their families and the community. However, the balance between managing household responsibilities and engaging in work can be a complex task.

The demands of work often overlap with home duties, making it difficult to find time for rest or personal activities. In many cases, extended family members provide support, especially in terms of childcare, enabling women to maintain their careers without compromising their children’s w...
