Two lorries transporting passengers into Kaduna State from Kano have been turned back.

Security officials at the Kaduna-Kano border prevented the vehicles from entering the state.

The lorries were said to have slipped through the security checks at the border, sneaking in their human cargo concealed behind livestock, motorcycles and other goods.

“We got information that these lorries had come in from the Kaduna-Kano border and had progressed up to Gwargwaji in Zaria LGA. 

“We then proceeded to nab them further along within the same local government,” Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said.

He added, “The passengers were cleverly concealed behind random goods, motorcycles and animals.
