“For His Excellency to cut his stay in Abuja to come and commensurate with us shows the depth of feeling that exists between people of Zamfara State and the people of Kebbi State.

“The incident happened at Warrah, a boat was carrying an unspecified number of people but upward of 150 took-off from a village called Lokon Minna in Niger State around 7.00am to Warrah which is about one and a half or two hours journey,” he said. He, however, said that at about 8.15 to 8.20am, the boat broke and only 22 survivors were rescued, adding that as of Friday 72 bodies were recovered including a number of persons from Zamfara State.

Bagudu explained that most of the people that move from Warrah to Lokon Minna were artisanal miners, girls and other women who go there to sell food to the miners.“We highly appreciate this gesture and depth of love for Kebbi State, we know how much Kebbi is dear to your heart and you have shown it yet again.

“We will continue to pray for you to achieve more in life, you have been a source of pride to many people including those of us in Kebbi State,” Bagudu said.
