President Muhammadu Buhari has
described the early Tuesday morning suicide bomb blast in a mosque in Mubi,
Adamawa State as “very cruel and dastardly.”
The Nigerian leader’s reaction is
contained in a statement by Garba Shehu, his Senior Special Assistant on Media
& Publicity.
President Buhari, while
commiserating with families of the several victims, government and people of
the state, assured that government would do everything required to secure the
state from the deadly menace of Boko Haram.
The President enjoined the people
in the entire North-east to be more vigilant and report suspicious persons to
security agencies in order to avert further attacks on soft targets by the
terrorist group.
He has also directed the
Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to deploy more police personnel to
prevent further attacks by armed bandits in Zamfara State.
Noting the current moves by the
IGP to review police personnel and strategy in the state, the President
directed him to visit the state and report back his findings about the deadly
attacks.
The directives followed recent
killings and wanton destruction carried out by unknown gunmen on communities in
Shinkafi and Maradun Local Government Areas of the state.
Buhari prayed that God would
console the bereaved families in the Adamawa and Zamfara incidents, heal the
injured, and grant rest to the souls of the departed.
Earlier, former vice president,
Atiku Abubakar, expressed sadness over the incident.
“I’m sad. Sad about the bombing
in Mubi. I pray for our people affected by this incident, but I know that is
not enough.”
“We must remain vigilant, work
together until all of us are safe,” he said.
In his reaction, Governor
Muhammed Umar Jibrilla Bindow, described the incident as “an act of wickedness
perpetrated by criminals who are bent on destroying the hard earned peace in
Mubi and other parts of the state.”

“We will continue to ensure that
our people are protected and given a sense of security which is the most
important responsibility of any government.
“We have also engaged all
security agencies to ensure that this type of wicked act does not repeat itself
in any part of the state.”
The governor called for calm
among residents, assuring that security had been stepped up in Mubi and its
environs and that his government would not rest until those behind the wicked
act are brought to book.
Bindow also urged residents with
useful information to provide such to security agencies so as to apprehend the
culprits.
The governor also promised that
those injured in the incident would be given adequate medical attention.
