Five women and one child have been killed in a road crash at Jipan village along Bida-Mokwa road in Bida Local Government Area of Niger state.
The Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Niger State Command, Joel Dagwa, confirmed this to
Channels Television via a statement issued on Friday.
He said four other persons also sustained varying degrees of injuries and were receiving treatment at the General Hospital Kutigi.
Although he did not give details of the cause of the accident, Dagwa said preliminary investigation revealed it could have been as a result of over speeding which led to the loss of control.
Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, on Friday apologised for incorrectly stating that only ten boys had been kidnapped at the government science school in Kankara, Katsina state.
The boys, numbering in their hundreds, were kidnapped one week ago and were released on Thursday by their abductors.
Shehu had told the BBC that only ten of them had been kidnapped, even as state government sources put the figure at 333.
“I apologize for the incorrect communication citing that only 10 students were kidnapped at the science school, Kankara,” Mr Shehu said on Friday via his verified Twitter page.
