IgbereTV has reported that security officials at the Kano-Kaduna border prevented two lorries in which passengers were found, from entering Kaduna State from Kano.
The lorries were supposed to be transporting just livestock and goods but were caught with passengers hidden among the goods and live stock.
Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said, “We got information that these lorries had come in from the Kaduna-Kano border and had progressed up to Gwargwaji in Zaria LGA. We then proceeded to nab them further along within the same local government."
“The passengers were cleverly concealed behind random goods, motorcycles and animals."
“Thankfully, once again we have got the better of them, and we have turned them back in compliance with the Kaduna State Government’s ban on inter-state travel.”
“Operatives are actively enforcing the directives at all entry points, and passengers have similarly been intercepted from other routes and escorted out to the borders.”
Interstate travel was banned in Kaduna state so as to curb the spread of COVID 19.
