The spate of mysterious deaths in Kano State is generating outrage on social media with Nigerians demanding a quicker response from the authorities.

Several reports, in recent days, have shown that people are dying in large numbers in the state, but it has not been ascertained whether they are related to Coronavirus.

The Minister of Health, Dr. Ehanire Osagie, on 22 April, noted that investigation will be carried out to determine the cause of deaths in the state.

The news of the deaths has sparked outrage as Many Twitter users are lamenting over what they described as the seeming poor response of the authorities in the state.

The main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has already asked President Muhammadu Buhari to relocate to the state while at the same time faulting Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.

Some Twitter users are demanding that the Federal Government intervene and investigate the cause of the unusual deaths in Kano, in order to avert the spread of another tragedy.

How Several VIPs Drop Dead in 24 Hours in KANO!

There are concerns in and out of Kano that the coronavirus pandemic may have been responsible for too many deaths of illustrious sons in the last 24 hours.

Kano should have gotten rid of Ganduje and his cluelessness when they had the chance… 680 people have reportedly died in Kano. Fgs they don’t even know the cause of death. Sigh https://t.co/2koStLrp85

Ganduje was quick to stuff dollars in his Babariga

He was quick to sack Emir Sanusi

He was quick to deport Almajiris

He was quick to unleash the mob on voters in 2019 elections

But Ganduje wants $15bn before he cud save Kano from COVID19?

640 people are died in 7days in Kano

My heart felt condolences to the bereaved people of Kano. Some of us know that y’all didn’t vote for Buhari and Ganduje. They imposed themselves on you all and abandoned you in this trying times. I pray that help comes soon.

Over 600 dead in Kano and Ganduje can't even give us a proper report.

Only thing making sense in this country right now is the rain #MuslimsConnect

I don't even want to comment on what is happening in Kano cos most Nigerians expecially Northerners don't know how to hold govt accountable expecially if it's one of theirs piloting the ship.
They are still a little pissed with Ganduje, Buhari, NCDC and their religious leaders.

When Kano state govt swiftly removed Sanusi as the Emir, their media people on Twitter were very fast & efficient in dishing out unsolicited info about the saga.

Now that lives @ stake & people are dying in their numbers there, we hear absolutely nothing from them.

Priorities.

People dying in Kano. No word from the president since that is not part of his job description.

His only job is to prove that he's alive from time to time.

Initially I thought Kano has 3 senators, Senator Barau malia, Senator Kabiru Gaya and Mal. Ibrahim shekarau, with 24 Members House of representatives and 44 state house of assembly but none can rise a motion about what is happening in Kano. Taron tsintsiya Ba shara.???
