Recall that four NIS personnel perished and seven were injured in an automobile accident on their way back to Abuja after an official assignment in Kano.

Akuneme informed the injured personnel and their families present at the Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital that he had been delegated to see them by the Service’s Comptroller General, Caroline Adepoju.

“I want to reassure you that the service will do all it takes to ensure you are fully recovered. The CG has also pledged to cater for all financial obligations arising from the fatal accident,” he said.
