KANO State Government has denied that 16 persons were killed two days ago by the dreaded militia bandits ravaging most parts of Northern Nigeria.
In a press statement made available to newsmen the State Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan debunked the claim.
“Kano indigenes perished in accident, and were not killed by bandits on the Kaduna-Abuja Road.”The story that 16 indigenes of Kano State were killed by bandits on the Kaduna-Abuja Road is incorrect and misleading.
“The fact is, they perished at the Rigachikun axis of Kaduna-Zaria Road in a road accident following a burst tyre.
“Our deep condolences go to their families, as we pray that their souls rest in peace. We also wish those who sustained injuries speedy recovery.
“We will respond appropriately if the need arises”, Aruwa said.<
