“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.
