2 die, 8 others hospitalised after drinking tea at wedding ceremony in Kano

“Although, there are different versions of the stories being peddled, but I delegated persons who went on a fact-finding and what we gathered was only two persons lost their lives. Someone told me four lost their lives and I asked him to take me to the houses but he later told me that the figure was hearsay.

“There are other eight persons who were hospitalised after drinking from the tea but they have all been discharged and going about with their day-to-day activities.”

Contacted, the spokesperson of Kano State Police Command, SP Abdullahi Haruna, said no formal report was made to the police division of the area but promised to make enquiry and give an update on the incident.
