“I wish to, on behalf of myself, my family, the state Government and the entire good people of Zamfara state, extend my sincere sympathy to those who were injured and the families of those who died as a result of this collateral damage,” matawalle added.
 
According to the governor, the state Government has swung into action to address the remote and immediate causes of the incident with the aim of averting any further ugly incident such as this one in the future.
