Police debunk reports of attack on 18-seater bus carrying Igbo passengers in Kano

Published on March 29, 2025 at 04:05 PM

The Kano State Police Command says “viral news circulating on social media” regarding an attack on an 18-seater bus carrying Igbo passengers in Kano is “false and misleading”.

This was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by the Police Public Relations Officer of the state, SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa.

The statement urged members of the public to “disregard this fake news and refrain from spreading unverified information, misinformation, and hate speeches that can cause harm, panic, and unrest in the community”.

“The Kano State Police Command is committed to maintaining law and order in the state and ensuring the safety and security of all residents, regardless of their ethnic or religious backgrounds.

“We have commenced an investigation into the source of this fake news and will take necessary actions to bring those responsible to justice.

“We appeal to the public to cooperate with the police and report any suspicious activities or individuals spreading false information to the nearest police station or through our emergency numbers.

“Let us work together to maintain peace, harmony, and security in Kano State,” the statement added.

The rumour is coming amid the outrage that followed the killing of 16 northerners in Edo State by local vigilantes.

The victims, who were travelling to Kano State, were mistaken for kidnappers.
