The Kaduna State Government on Wednesday debunked messages and news circulating online, alleging that hundreds of bandits had laid siege on travellers on the Kaduna-Zaria.
Samuel Aruwan, the Commissioner, Internal Security and Home Affairs in Kaduna in a statement, said the public should disregard such messages as the road is safe for motorists and other road users.
“The attention of the Kaduna State Government has been drawn to a widely circulated message advising citizens not to enter or exit Zaria, alleging the presence of hundreds of bandits at Dumbi and Jaji along the route to Zaria.” He said
“The Kaduna State Government wishes to firmly debunk that message and urges citizens to disregard it completely. It is an obvious attempt to spread panic.”
He said the Kaduna State Government assured all citizens and travellers that the Kaduna-Zaria route is safe for travel, urging residents to go about their normal activities and pay no attention to the false report.
