Kaduna Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan
By GARBA MUHAMMAD, Kaduna
The Kaduna State Government has debunked a widely circulated social media message advising citizens not to enter or exit Zaria, alleging the presence of hundreds of bandits at Dumbi and Jaji, along Kaduna-Zaria route.
A statement by Samuel Aruwan, Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, while reacting to the viral message on Wednesday in Kaduna, said: “The State Government wishes to firmly debunk that message, and urges citizens to disregard it completely. It is an obvious attempt to spread panic.
“The Kaduna State Government assures all citizens and travelers that the Kaduna-Zaria route is safe for travel. Residents are urged to go about their normal activities and pay no attention to the false report.”
