In a heartfelt response to the devastating incident that occurred yesterday, Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, extends his sincere condolences to the families affected by the fatal accident involving a KTSTA eighteen-seater bus.
The ill-fated KTSTA bus, en route from its office in Kankara local government area of Katsina State to Abuja, met with tragedy due to ongoing repairs on the Kaduna/Abuja highway. The construction work required diversion of traffic, with contractors placing heavy machinery in close proximity to the area, inadvertently contributing to the unfortunate incident.
Regrettably, seven lives, including two children and the bus driver, were lost at the scene of the accident. Governor Radda expresses deep sympathy and stands in solidarity with the bereaved families and the people of Katsina State during this difficult time.
The Governor, on behalf of the entire people of the state, offers his heartfelt prayers to Allah SWT, seeking solace for the departed souls and beseeching the Almighty to grant them the highest rank in Jannatul Firdaus.
The Katsina State Government remains committed to ensuring the safety of its citizens and will work diligently to prevent such tragic incidents in the future.
The Governor urged people of the state to come together and support one another during these trying times.
