There is serious anxiety in Kano State following reports of secret burials of over 150 bodies across different cemeteries in the State within a period of 72 hours. With the cause of such massive deaths still unknown, there's fear the deaths might not be unconnected to the current covid-19 pandemic wrecking havoc across the world.
The Kano State government has announced it would investigate the death claims as widely reported, and possible cause of deaths. It however, downplayed the severity of the situation saying such massive deaths aren't unusual in a state with over 15 million people.
Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has voiced his concern over the situation saying "we are playing with fire". He also the situation in Kano State might just confirmed previous predictions by Mrs Melinda Gates who said she saw dead bodies littered across the streets of Africa.
Mrs Gates had in a recent interview with CNN, on the novel coronavirus and its effects in the third world countries, said her heart is in Africa, and based on her experiences across developing countries especially Africa, 'its going to be horrible'.
“Look at what is happening in Ecuador, they are putting bodies out on the streets, you are going to see that in countries in Africa,” Mrs Gates noted.
According to Mrs Gates, her worst nightmare was when she “saw what China had to do to isolate enormous part of its population. My first thought was Africa. How in the world are they going to deal with this.”
“I have been in townships all over Africa and slums. When we talk in country physical distancing and hand-washing, if you live in slums who can’t physical distance, you have to go out and get your meals. You don’t have clean water to wash your hands,” she added.
Mrs Gates was attacked by Fani Kayode and others who feel both Gates and his wife are up to something and never wish Africa well.
"If something is not done quickly by President Muhammadu Buhari and his Federal Government hundreds of thousands of people, particularly the elderly, will die of Covid 19 and related diseases in Kano and other parts of the north in the next few weeks and this will spread like wildfire to the Middle Belt and the south. Something drastic MUST be done to contain the plague.
"The truth is that we are playing with fire! Worse of all is the fact that that is precisely what Bill and Melinda Gates and those that are in their little club of globalist cultists WANT so they can sell their vaccine which will kill even more people!
"Their agenda is DEPOPULATION! The onus is on us to ensure it does not happen. We MUST do more to protect our people from this evil virus."
