Reports reaching us indicates that security officials at the Kano-Kaduna border prevented two
lorries transporting passengers from entering Kaduna State from
Kano.The passengers were hidden among livestock, motorcycles and other
goods.
Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home
Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said, “We got information that these lorries had
come in from the Kaduna-Kano border and had progressed up to Gwargwaji
in Zaria LGA. We then proceeded to nab them further along within the
same local government.”
“The passengers were cleverly concealed behind random goods, motorcycles and animals.”
“Thankfully,
once again we have got the better of them, and we have turned them back
in compliance with the Kaduna State Government’s ban on inter-state
travel.”
“Operatives are actively enforcing the directives at all
entry points, and passengers have similarly been intercepted from other
routes and escorted out to the borders.”
Recall that the Kaduna State Government banned interstate travel as a measure to curb the spread of COVID 19.
