Many members of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), band team have died in a fatal accident along the Kano/Zaria road on Sunday morning.
Unconfirmed reports said all the band members died in the unfortunate accident.
However, the cause of the accident and the actual number of personnel who died were yet to be confirmed at the time of filing this report.
The Headquarters of the Service in Abuja has been thrown into a pensive and mourning mood following the tragic accident.
It was gathered that the bus conveying the band was returning from Kano on Sunday morning after the band had performed at the Presidential Commissioning and Passing Out Parade of the 48th Superintendent Basic Course 2023 at the Immigration Training School, Kano.
