The Kaduna State Government has debunked the presence of bandits in forest along the Kaduna-Zaria Road as circulated by some individuals.
The Kaduna State Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, debunked the report via a statement made available to newsmen in Kaduna on Wednesday.
Aruwan stated that the report was an attempt to create panic among the people of the area.
“The attention of the Kaduna State Government has been drawn to a widely circulated message advising citizens not to enter or exit Zaria, alleging the presence of hundreds of bandits at Dumbi and Jaji along the route to Zaria.

“The Kaduna State Government wishes to firmly debunk that message, and urges citizens to disregard it completely. It is an obvious attempt to spread panic.
“The Kaduna State Government assures all citizens and travellers that the Kaduna-Zaria route is safe for travel.
“Residents are urged to go about their normal activities and pay no attention to the false report,” the commissioner noted.
