The Kano State Emergency Management Agency has confirmed the death of five persons following a devastating rainstorm in Bichi Local Government Area of the state last week.
The Executive Secretary of the agency, Alhaji Isyaku Kubarachi, confirmed the figure in a telephone interview with PUNCH Metro on Thursday.
“Five persons lost their lives in Bichi as a result of the rainstorm, not eight as erroneously reported by some media outlets,” he said.
He said the personnel of the agency had already visited the area, where they assessed the damage caused by the disaster.
