” As with any situation where lives are affected, our hearts and prayers are with the deceased and members of their immediate families.
“Even though the Service does not have a checkpoint or patrol team along Birnin Kebbi-Argungu Road, the suspicion that a Customs patrol team may have pursued the Carina E vehicle laden with jerricans of PMS which was on high speed causing the accident has necessitated rigorous ongoing facts finding activities in the Command.

“While looking forward to the outcome of the thorough ongoing investigation, we pray the Almighty Allah (SWT) grant the deceased al-Jannatul Firdaus and the injured, quick recovery”, he said.
