Kaduna State Government has dismissed reports that there was a suicide bomb attack along Kaduna-Abuja highway on Wednesday.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Overseeing commissioner Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, and made available to newsmen in Kaduna on Wednesday.
The statement said,” Our Ministry has been drawn to reports being circulated, alleging the occurrence of a suicide attack or a similar incident along the Kaduna-Abuja Road.
“The Ministry wishes to clarify that as of the time of this update (5:00 PM, Wednesday 3rd July 2024), no such incident – suicide attack or otherwise – has occurred on the Kaduna-Abuja Road.
“Security forces and intelligence sources along the route are in constant touch with the Government, supported by the ongoing conduct of physical inspection and security assessments.
“Reports of such an incident are therefore deemed erroneous.
