Additional reports claimed that the victims, along with others, were on their way to the governor’s hometown, Kafur, for Saturday’s gubernatorial and state House of Assembly elections.
The sources say the collision was caused by the terrible road in the region.
A source stated, “The victims were about to arrive at a bridge in the region on Friday night when they ran into the terrible stretch of the road, which prompted the car they were riding in to slide and tumble, resulting in their death.”
Three people, who incurred injuries in the accident, first got care at the General Hospital, Malumfashi, before they were transported to the Federal Teaching Hospital, Katsina.
Plans had already started for their burial on Saturday, as the police officer stated the remains of the slain passengers were transferred from the site to a mortuary in Katsina.
