BREAKING: Katsina Governor Dikko Radda Involved in Minor Crash After Buhari Burial Visit – Assures Public of Stability

Governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State was involved in a minor car accident on the Daura-Katsina road shortly after attending the burial rites of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Initial eyewitness reports had caused confusion and concern as details of the incident trickled in, with some speculating the accident to be more severe.

However, calm was restored after the governor’s media team swiftly released a statement confirming that Governor Radda is stable, safe, and undergoing routine medical evaluation at the Federal Medical Centre, Daura.

The accident reportedly occurred as the governor’s convoy was heading back from Daura, where Radda had been part of a high-powered delegation that paid last respects to the late elder statesman. Sources close to the scene say the vehicle briefly lost control, leading to a minor collision but with no fatalities or critical injuries.

Witnesses noted that Governor Radda had appeared visibly emotional throughout his visit, a reflection of his deep personal ties and political connection to the late President Buhari, who was laid to rest on Saturday in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State.

Officials from the state government have reiterated that there is no cause for alarm, and that the governor remains in good health, continuing to perform his duties despite the incident. Security around the governor has also been heightened to ensure his continued safety.

This development comes just days after the nation bid farewell to one of its most influential political leaders, and Katsina — being the late president’s home state — has witnessed a surge of high-profile visitors, increasing traffic and tension on key roads around Daura.

As messages of concern and support pour in, Governor Radda has assured the people of Katsina that he remains committed to service and stability, urging the public to avoid misinformation and sensationalism.
