Kaduna State Police Command has debunked the story making the rounds that gunmen killed 16 travellers on the Abuja-Kaduna highway on Tuesday.
Umar Muri, the state's Commissioner of Police, in a statement said that the incident that happened on Tuesday, Dec. 8, was a lone accident on the Kaduna-Zaria expressway involving a commercial bus conveying 19 passengers from Kano to Abuja. He explained that the driver lost control at a point at Rigachukun, in Igabi Local Government area of Kaduna State and the bus summersaulted killing nine of the passengers while the 10 others sustained varying degrees of injuries. “We implore the general public to discontinue the attribution of this painful loss of lives to banditry,’’ he stated.
