The Emir of Kano, AMINU ADO BAYERO, has confirmed that the mass deaths reported in Kano State were not from COVID-19 as some have alleged.

In a statement, the Emir noted that he was informed by the State’s Ministry of Health that the mysterious deaths earlier reported in Kano State were caused by other health issues.

He said it had become necessary for residents to follow all the necessary medical advice.

He also urged them to avoid stigmatization of people with the infection and avoid fake news that may likely create panic among the people.
