“The police has decried the outrageous number of people drowned in rivers in the state in the last one month.

“No fewer than eleven of such incidents were recorded in some parts of the state.

“The Jigawa police command has expressed serious concern over the spate of drowning in the state, as no fewer than eleven of such ugly incidents were recorded in places such as Ringim, Guri, Kiyawa, Dutse, involving children and adults alike within the last one month.
