NIGERIAN Immigration Services (NIS) Comptroller- General (CG) Muhammad Babandede yesterday described an online story that five gang armed bandits attacked his family on their way to Hadejia from Kano via Gujungu-Yalo road in Taura Local Government Area in Jigawa State as false.
Reacting to the incident in a telephone conversation with our correspondent, Babandede expressed shock over the news, adding that his family were in Abuja and that they did not travel.
The NIS boss said: “People have been calling me on the issue. My family are safe and no one was attacked. I am surprised that an online newspaper can cook up a story that did not happen. I will investigate the matter. This is not fair.”
The online newspaper also quoted the NSCDC spokesman, Jigawa Command, Adamu Shehu, of saying the incidence occurred on Saturday night along Gujungu -Yalo Hadejia road in Jigawa State.
According to him, two of the bandits were in military uniform suspected to be soldiers but armed robbers.
