I will take over security agents job at Kano-Kaduna border on sallah day — Gov El-Rufai vows

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai 

Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has said that corrupt security agents are to be blame for the influx of travelers from Kano into the State.

The Governor lamented that the security agencies are not cooperating despite efforts being made by the government to stop movement of travellers into the state.


Speaking during COVID-19 briefing on Tuesday, El-Rufai said he would personally patrol the Kaduna-Kano borders on Sallah day to ensure that no one sneaks into the state.

He lamented that most of those who tested positive for coronavirus in that state have had travel history.




He, therefore, blamed the influx of people sneaking into the state to the activities of corrupt security agents on the highway.

“We have tried everything but the security agents have not been cooperating. We have heard of instances where commercial drivers and others pay them to come into Kaduna.



“I will personally visit and patrol the Kaduna-Kano borders on Sallah day from morning till night to see who will dare enter Kaduna State.

“I will not leave there until late at night.”
