Attack on the Kaduna-Abuja highway

On Thursday, the Kaduna State Government (KDSG) refuted reports of an assault on the Kaduna-Abuja highway.

In a statement released in Kaduna, the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr Samuel Aruwan, denounced the claim as malicious, fraudulent, and untrue.

“The Kaduna state government’s attention has been attracted to a widely disseminated message raising concern about a purported bandit blockage of the Kaduna-Abuja route.

He said, “The Kaduna state administration wishes to refute this statement and counsels residents to disregard the nefarious distribution.

According to Aruwan, the administration has been in regular contact with the local security organizations and is well aware of the security circumstances on the road and in other places.

He denounced those who spread false information, calling their actions regrettable and purposefully designed to discredit the sacrifices made by the government and security forces.
