President Muhamamdu Buhari has
expressed sadness over the bomb blast at a motor park in Yola, Adamawa state,
that claimed lives of innocent people.
In a series of tweets posted by Garba Shehu, the
president’s senior special assistant on media and publicity, Buhari shared
sincere condolences to the families, relatives of the victims of the suspected
Book Haram attack.
Meanwhile, Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, also has condoled with people of Adamawa state over the deadly attack.
“My thoughts and prayers are with my people in my home
state. Terror will be defeated!” he wrote in his Facebook post.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a former minister of
finance, followed in the footsteps of the former vice-president to send
condolences to victims of Yola bomb blast.
“My heart goes out to mothers, fathers and children
affected in Yola terrorists’ attack. May God comfort survivors and grant the
dead peace,” she wrote.
According to recent reports, more
than 30 people were killed, about 80 others injured in the blast
that occurred in the Jambutu area of the capital on
Tuesday, November 17.
Although nobody has claimed
responsibility for the attack, it is believed to have been carried out by
members of the Boko Haram sect who have raided the northeastern part of
Nigeria, killing over two thousands of innocent people.
