According to him, considering the pattern of previous attacks in the country, security agencies should beef up surveillance around motor parks and related areas all over the federation.

The Speaker further urged security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators of the violent act are brought to justice. He said the gains recorded by the security agencies in their battle against terror should be consolidated in order to protect the citizens at all times. While condoling with the families of those who lost loved ones in the blast, Tambuwal prayed for the quick recovery of those injured.

It is very sad, I do not know what anger on the need to do this to vent their anger, it is sad that early this morning citizens woke up to go for their daily bread and then for this callous thing to happen.
I really do not know how to explain this because every Nigerian is one of us regardless of where he/she is from. I condole all of us and may God stop this henceforth”
