“I am aware of only three deaths within the period; one of the deceased was my friend.

“The three deaths in our records took natural patterns like what we have witnessed over the years. I don’t think there is anything different,” he said on Tuesday in Hadeija.

The News Agency of Nigeria quoted the chairman as saying he had summoned a meeting with councillors to take a second inventory of deaths recorded recently.

“Details of the meeting will be made public thereafter. We won’t hide anything,” he said.
