Four people have lost their lives in two separate road
accidents in Matazu and Charanchi Local Government Areas of Katsina State. The
incidents, which occurred on Sunday, also left 10 others injured.
The tragedies happened barely four months after
Governor Dikko Radda himself survived an accident along the Daura–Katsina Road
while on official duty.
Matazu Accident: Governor Arrives at Scene
The first accident occurred in Matazu, involving a
commercial Golf car with registration number DDM 339 XA. The vehicle,
carrying passengers from Jibia to Dandume, was mangled beyond recognition.
Governor Radda, who was returning from the first phase
of his statewide tour in the Funtua zone, arrived at the scene moments after
the crash. All four victims who died were women.
The governor immediately ordered his convoy to stop
and personally supervised rescue operations. Medical personnel attached to his
team provided emergency treatment until more responders arrived.
“No leader should drive past such a tragedy,” Radda
said at the scene.
“These victims are our brothers and sisters. Their lives matter, and it is our
duty to respond with compassion and urgency.”
Second Accident Along Kafinsoli–Koda Road
As the governor’s entourage continued toward Katsina,
they encountered a second crash along the Kafinsoli–Koda Road.
Once again, Radda halted the convoy and directed
rescue operations. Two vehicles from his motorcade were used to transport the
injured to a medical facility in Charanchi for urgent care.
Deputy Governor’s Convoy Also Involved in
Crash
In a related development, the convoy of the deputy
governor was involved in an accident along the Kaduna–Zaria Road, leaving six
people injured. The governor commiserated with the victims and prayed for their
speedy recovery.
Governor Mourns, Promises Stronger
Emergency Support
“May Almighty Allah forgive the departed and grant
them Jannatul Firdausi. May He also heal the injured and return them safely to
their families,” Radda said.
He further assured citizens that his administration
will continue improving emergency response systems to protect lives across the
state.
