Governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State has been discharged after being involved in a minor road accident on Sunday evening along the Daura–Katsina road.
The incident was confirmed by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed, who stated that Governor Radda is in good health and high spirits. Bashir Ahmed, a former media aide to the late President Muhammadu Buhari, also affirmed the development, quoting the chairman of the Katsina Local Government Area.
Following the accident, Governor Radda expressed his gratitude to the people of Katsina State and Nigerians for their concern and prayers. In a short live video from his residence on Sunday, he said:
“Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Dear brothers and sisters of Katsina State and beyond, we are deeply grateful for all your prayers and concern. By the will of Allah, we were tested with a car accident—but Alhamdulillah, we came out safe and unharmed.”
The governor was briefly placed under medical observation as a precautionary measure but has since resumed his official duties.
