visits victims of the Gombe bomb attack

to stamp out insurgency in the country,” he
said.

Mohammadu Buhari, to commiserate with the
people of Gombe over the incident. “This
morning when we paid the President Sallah
homage, he asked me to come to Gombe to
commiserate with the people, the Emir and
governor of Gombe over the terrible incident
that happened.
“He said I should let them know that we are
with them; we heard about the death of men,
women and children and we feel your pains.
“People should be rejoicing in celebration of
Sallah but instead they are mourning; it is
unfortunate,” he said.

that can protect them, men can only do their
best,” he said.
