“Make no mistake, there will never be any valid grounds or rationale behind such violence that has left many families without their loved ones — and one more community in grief and shock,” Saraki said
The Senate President added that he has called the State Governor to express his condolence on the lives that were lost in the attack.

“Last night, I spoke to Governor Ahmed to express my condolence on the lives that were lost in the attack, and we both agree that no stone will be left unturned until the perpetrators of this heinous act are caught and brought to justice

“Moving forward, it is also important that we all work together to ensure that this does not reoccur. We all must co-operate at various levels to increase the security of our communities” Saraki added

He prays that the souls of those that died in the attack are granted places amongst the righteous ones. “My prayers and support will continue to be extended to all the affected families and we will remain relentless until everyone who planned or carried out this attack faces the full wrath of the law” Saraki.
