Report that a broadcaster suffered stray bullet at Kano State Government House has drawn reaction from official quarters.
The report had said that a reporter with Abubakar Rimi Television Station (ARTV), Naziru Idris Ya’u, who is attached to Kano Government House, was hit by a stray bullet on Friday evening on the beat.
Spurring the response from the state government, a statement the Director-General, Media and Publicity, Government House, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa authored, debunked the claim.
Sanusi in his refutation, threw light on the situation, saying Naziru got injured at a construction site in the Government House.
“The incident, which occurred amidst a flurry of misinformation, sparked widespread concern and speculation regarding the safety of journalists covering events at the Government House.
“For clarity purpose, Naziru Yau, the reporter of the state television station was not hit by any stray bullet; instead, he sustained injuries from the metal debris emanating from an ongoing construction at the Kano State Government House, an area that has been barricaded for caution,” he narrated.
