**Zamfara Governor Reaffirms Commitment to Healthcare, Inaugurates Renovated Maru General Hospital**

**Maru, Zamfara State, September 9, 2024** – Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has reiterated his administration’s dedication to prioritizing projects that directly benefit the people, particularly in the healthcare sector. The governor made this statement during the inauguration of the renovated and rehabilitated General Hospital in Maru Local Government Area.

In a statement released by his spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, on Sunday, Governor Lawal revealed that the government is actively working to renovate and equip all general hospitals across the state’s 14 Local Government Areas. The Maru General Hospital is the latest facility to benefit from this initiative, with modern infrastructure and advanced medical equipment now in place.

Governor Lawal emphasized that the renovation project is aimed at providing state-of-the-art healthcare facilities to ensure that quality medical services are both accessible and affordable to the people of Zamfara.

“The renovation works at Maru General Hospital include upgrading facilities to meet modern standards, allowing the people of Maru and nearby communities access to decent healthcare,” the governor said. “We have integrated advanced medical technologies and systems, ensuring the hospital is equipped to handle a range of medical conditions, from routine care to complex surgeries.”

He added that the hospital’s staff are now better equipped to provide services that meet the highest healthcare standards.

In addition to the physical renovation, Governor Lawal announced the installation of a 39-kilowatt solar power system to provide a reliable power supply to the hospital. This is essential for the continuous operation of medical equipment and patient care. Furthermore, 35 streetlights have been installed around the hospital premises to enhance security and improve visibility.

“I sincerely hope that the people of Maru and the entire Zamfara State will fully utilize these upgraded facilities,” the governor stated, noting that the Ministry of Health has been instructed to maintain the hospital’s operations and upkeep.

The renovation of Maru General Hospital is part of a broader effort by the Zamfara State government to improve healthcare infrastructure across the state, ensuring that residents have access to essential medical services in a secure and modern environment.

The Ogun State Police Command on Monday clarified that Mr Akinsanya Aremu, father of the slain 17-year-old secondary school student in the state, Habeebah Akinsanya, paid ₦30,000 to her kidnappers and not ₦1 million as reported. Aremu, a senior officer with So-Safe Corps, was said to have paid the money into a Moniepoint account provided by the kidnappers to facilitate the tracking and arrest of those responsible for the kidnapping of his daughter. The police revealed that the teenage girl was discovered to have been raped by her abductors before being macheted to death. Her corpse was later found on Sunday at her father’s farm near Mile 6, a community a few metres from Ogun State Television, Abeokuta. The law enforcement agency has also pointed an accusing finger at one of the farm workers employed by the father of the victim. Residents of the community allegedly claimed they last saw the farm worker with the late Habeebah while entering the farm where her body was eventually found. Health 360: Food Safety0:00 / 1:01 The Divisional Police Officer of Kemta Division, Abeokuta, CSP Olawale Famobuwa, disclosed this after receiving express approval from the Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, to speak on the incident. Famobuwa said, “The father of the deceased reported to the police station on Friday at about 9:30 pm that his daughter, Habeebah, who was helping her sister with the Point of Sale business, had not been found. “He said that the sister had travelled and asked Habeebah to stand in for her, but someone invited her (the deceased) for a transaction, and she had been missing since then. It was recorded as a case of a missing person. “He later returned on Saturday and said that some people had contacted the sister who owned the PoS business and were demanding money, so he sent ₦30,000 into the Moniepoint account, which we hope to use to track the receiver and arrest those behind the criminal act.

I have the receipt, and this was done to help facilitate the tracking of those responsible for the criminal act. “We actually traced the transaction to somewhere in the Oke Egunya community, which is under Ibara Division, Abeokuta. We were there until 1 am early Sunday morning before we took a break and resumed the tracking later. “We were later informed on Sunday that the corpse of the young girl had been found at her father’s farm in Mile 6, and when we arrived, we discovered that the girl had been raped before she was killed.” Famobuwa further explained that a resident of the community allegedly saw a farm worker employed by the father of the victim entering the bush with the deceased but did not return with her. When challenged, the farm worker claimed that the girl was still busy on the farm and would join him later. The police also reported that a 15-year-old boy allegedly explained how he saw this farm worker with firewood on his head, running suspiciously as if attempting to flee from a crime scene. Famobuwa expressed regret that the father of the deceased, a senior officer in the So-Safe security agency established by the state government, had been provided with vital information by the residents of the community but failed to pass it on to the police. He stated that the farm worker, who is reported to have fled, is a prime suspect, but the police will do everything within the law to ensure that all the assailants involved in the criminal acts are brought to justice. Habeebah, a student of Lisabi Grammar School, Abeokuta, was set to enter SS3 when the new school session begins on 16th September and would have turned 17 in October.
