Even though as a journalist this are part of our duty to report such issues, but particularly me as a person if i decide to report such incident pple look at it as if i’m an agent of opposition. Frankly i was in a popular area today in Sokoto call Gandu infact the corpses i saw today is very alarming.

I also visited cementry in ancient city and spoke to most of the guards that what they are experiencing in the last few days is only God can intervened because the number of dead body being brought to cementary every day. While calling on the State government to intensify effort in addressing 1maleria which is endermic all over the country 2. Poverty and 3. Hunger.
