The Presidency called on the federal government to initiate an immediate investigation to uncover the facts and fulfill its duty to protect the region.

The attack led to the loss of lives and injuries among citizens. The statement conveyed condolences to the families of the martyrs and expressed solidarity with them, wishing a speedy recovery to the wounded.
