MyNigeria learnt that about 22 athletes that represented Kano at the just concluded National Sports Festival in Ogun State died on theit way back from the tournament.

The vehicle they boarded had an accident that also left many injured.

As compensation, the state government gave their families N1 million each, a gesture Sani considered not enough because Kano is rich.
