The visit, confirmed by the Vice President’s spokesman Stanley Nkwocha, was intended to convey federal government support to those affected by the incident.
On Wednesday evening, an explosion occurred during Maghrib prayers at the Al‑Adum Jumaat Mosque, killing at least five people and injuring 35 others. While there, Shettima met with victims receiving medical treatment and relayed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s sympathy to the injured and to the families of the deceased. He assured them that the government would continue to provide the necessary assistance and support in the aftermath of the tragedy.
The blast has prompted heightened surveillance in the area, with security agencies working to investigate the incident. The bombing raises serious concerns about security in a region already marked by periods of instability, highlighting the need for enhanced measures in public places that are vulnerable to attacks.
The federal government’s response is crucial for delivering relief to the affected community and for preventing future occurrences. The Vice President’s visit underscores the government’s commitment to supporting the victims and their families, and the ongoing investigations will be closely monitored to ensure that assistance remains a top priority.
