Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State says autopsies are being carried out to unravel the cause of the mysterious deaths in the state.
WuzupNigeria reports that there has been a surge in the number of deaths recorded in the state in recent times, a situation undertakers say is worrisome.
The state had between Friday and Sunday last week lost about 14 prominent sons and daughters to unusual deaths which created fear and confusion among residents.
Ganduje on Monday disclosed this in a tweet on his official Twitter handle.
“Over the past week, there have been reports of mysterious deaths in our great Kano State and I’m here to assure everyone that investigations are already ongoing.
“Autopsies are still being carried out but so far there’s been nothing to suggest that they are linked with COVID-19.
“The State Ministry of Health has been sleepless in their battle against the pandemic and I would like to commend them for their efforts thus far. They have fought hard in the sporadic testing and quarantining of infected people across the state,” Ganduje tweeted.
