Tha Na’aba family said the news came from mischievous persons trying to take advantage of the ugly health situation in Kano to give Kano a bad name.
“Our brother is strong, healthy and alive, he is not dead…and he is not sick of Covid-19… Please ignore the rumours,” Usman said.
For her part Hannatu Suleiman said the popularity of the Na’aba’s family in Kano was responsible for the rumours since prominent persons in the State have been dying recently.
