At least 30 people died in a road accident involving a trailer at Kwanar Barde in Gezawa LGA of Kano on Sunday morning.
According to multiple reports, several other people who
sustained serious injuries in the accident were taken to hospitals for
treatment.
The trailer was reportedly heading to Gujungu in Jigawa
state.
Meanwhile, Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano, has commiserated
with the families of those who died in the accident and ordered free medical
care for the survivors.
In a statement, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the governor’s
spokesperson, quoted Yusuf describing the accident as “heartbreaking and a
great loss, not only to the affected families but to the entire people of Kano
state.”
“Governor Yusuf prayed for the repose of the souls of the
deceased and asked Allah to grant their families the strength to bear the
painful loss,” the statement reads.
“He also prayed for the speedy recovery of those currently
receiving treatment in various hospitals across the state.”
Tofa said the governor also directed the office of the
special adviser on humanitarian affairs to immediately assess the casualties
and come up with measures to support the families of the victims.
“Governor Yusuf also cautioned motorists, particularly
drivers of heavy-duty vehicles, to avoid reckless driving and strictly adhere
to traffic regulations in order to prevent similar tragedies in the future,”
Tofa added.
