Stampede ’caused’ Kano school deaths

Authorities in Kano have given more details about a fire which led to at least seven female students being killed and 25 others injured at a government-run boarding school last night.

Most of the victims died as a result of stampede while trying to escape through two exits at the hostel in a village near Kano, officials said.
The whole hostel was completely gutted by the blaze, and it took fire-fighters hours to bring it under control.
The school has been closed and authorities have ordered a full investigation into the cause of the fire, reports the BBC.http://newtelegraphonline.com/stampede-caused-kano-school-deaths/
