In a statement released on yesterday by the acting SWAN Secretary in Kogi State, Olatunde Odimayo, the incident was described as both tragic and painful.

While extending condolences to the bereaved families for their irreplaceable loss, the sports body also offered its sympathies to the Kano State Government and SWAN in the state during this challenging time.

“We are profoundly affected by this tragic event. Reports indicate that these individuals were young, vibrant, and promising talents, determined to bring pride to Kano State both nationally and internationally.

“Our thoughts are with their families during this difficult period. SWAN Kogi is calling on the Kano State Government to urgently immortalise these fallen heroes, who dedicated their lives to the advancement of the state,” the statement read.
