Buhari mourns victims of Niger flood, Kano road crash
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with the victims of the Niger flood and the Kano athletes that died in an auto accident.
This followed the death of more than one hundred persons in flash floods that destroyed homes and displaced thousands of residents last week in Niger.
The death was also recorded of 22 young athletes, coaches, and officials in a ghastly auto crash in Kano state after the Ogun games in Abeokuta.
Mr Buhari, in a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, sympathised with the bereaved families, governments and the people of Niger and Kano states over the incident.
The former president said that the tragic incidents, happening in a quick sequence, had left him shocked and devastated as it did many people in different parts of the world.
“I am deeply pained by the loss of lives due to the floods in Niger state and the road accident in Kano state.
‘’The deaths are painful and devastating. Condolences to the families and friends of all those who have lost their loved ones. May the injured recover soon.”
