Governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State narrowly escaped injury following a minor road accident that occurred on Sunday evening, July 20, 2025, along the Daura-Katsina Road.
The incident reportedly happened while the governor was on official duty, traveling between engagements within the state. According to credible sources, the accident was minor and did not result in any serious injuries to the governor or members of his convoy.
Confirming the development, a senior aide to the governor stated that Dr. Radda is in stable condition and has continued with his official itinerary. “We thank Almighty Allah for His protection. The governor only experienced a slight scare and has since resumed his normal activities,” the aide said.
Eyewitnesses along the route reported a brief disruption as security operatives and emergency responders ensured the safety of all occupants before clearing the road for normal vehicular movement.
Governor Radda, known for his grassroots engagement and frequent travels across the state, has been overseeing several developmental and security-related projects in recent weeks. Sunday’s incident marks a rare disruption in his otherwise rigorous schedule.
Authorities have assured that further safety measures will be implemented to prevent such occurrences in the future. Residents and supporters have since taken to social media to express relief and gratitude for the governor’s safety.
