This heartbreaking incident has left our entire nation in mourning. These young athletes were not just budding stars but also symbols of hope, unity, and national pride. Their dedication to representing Kano State with excellence and forging bonds with fellow athletes across Nigeria makes their untimely demise even more devastating.  

We are deeply pained that these promising lives, full of talent and potential, were cut short just as they were returning home to their loved ones. Our hearts go out to the families, friends, and colleagues of the deceased, who must now bear this unimaginable loss. We pray that Almighty Allah grants them the strength to endure this painful moment and grants the departed souls eternal rest in Aljannah Firdaus.  

AMORAN also extends our deepest condolences to His Excellency, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, the Kano State Government, the Chairman of the Kano State Sports Commission, Alhaji Umar Bala Fagge, and the entire people of Kano State. May such a tragedy never befall our nation again.  

In this moment of collective sorrow, we stand in solidarity with all affected and urge road users to prioritize safety at all times. Let the memory of these fallen heroes inspire greater commitment to sportsmanship, unity, and safer travels across Nigeria.  

Signed,  
Otunba Taofeek Sokoya
