Four people were burned beyond recognition, and ten others sustained injuries after fire engulfed a Hummer bus in Jigawa State on February 22, 2025.

The incident occurred around 4:00 pm near Government Girls Unity Secondary School in Gwaram.

According to the spokesperson for the Jigawa State Police Command, SP Lawan Adam, in a statement on Sunday, the bus was travelling from Zaki Local Government Area in Bauchi State to Rabadi village in Gwaram Local Government Area when the fire broke out.

“The vehicle was carrying 44 passengers, including 25 adults and 19 children,” Adam said.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the fire started when the vehicle’s exhaust came into contact with a mattress tied to the back of the bus, igniting flames that quickly spread.

“The victims were identified as Zuwairah Hassan, 40; Fatima Hassan, 5; Iyatale Hassan, 3; and Halima Muhammad, 10 — all from Saldiga village in Zaki LGA, Bauchi State,” the statement further read.
