The Governor of Kano State, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has commiserated with the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Shaikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, over Friday’s bomb attack on Muslims on Arba’een symbolic trek to Zaria, Kaduna State from Kano State.
About 22 people were recorded dead and many injured when a suicide bomber detonated a bomb among the trekkers at Dakasoye village on outskirt of Kura town in Kano State.
A statement signed by the Kano State Commissioner of Information, Comrade Muhammad Garba, said Ganduje prayed Allah to grant the deceased eternal rest and Zakzaky and the family of the deceased the fortitude to bear the loss.
Garba explained that Ganduje described the incident as very unfortunate.
He also prayed for the quick recovery of those who sustained injuries in the blast.
He called on Sheikh Zakzaky, his followers and entire people of the country to continue to pray to God to prevent future occurrence.
The statement added: “It is unfortunate that the ugly incident is happening when the country has started enjoying relative peace.
“We should continue to pray for the sustenance of peace in our state, and the country at large.”
Garba said the Kano State Government also pledged support to those who sustained injuries.
