Nigerian Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has praised the Yobe State Government for instigating a probe into the incessant ‘mystery deaths’ recently reported in parts of the state.
Lawan said he found the deaths from unknown causes in Gashua, Nguru and Portiskum communities hard to take in.
He said, “The planned intervention by the state government is to determine whether the deaths were of natural cause or causes and to enable the authorities come up with the appropriate response to prevent any such future occurrences that are preventable.
“The Intervention of the state government is most relevant now but for it to have a positive impact, the affected communities must give their unalloyed cooperation to the investigating authorities.”
The Senate President further condoled with the families of those who lost their loved ones.
