The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has ordered security agencies to beef up security in Mubi, Adamawa and environs, especially markets and places of worship, following the bomb attack in the state on Tuesday.
This directive is contained in a release issued on Wednesday by Laolu Akande, the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity.
The release stated that the Federal Government was shocked and outraged by the suicide bomb attacks on a Mosque and a market in Mubi, Adamawa, describing the incident as tragic.
“This desecration of a place of worship by criminals is tragic and condemnable,’’ Akande said.
The release added that Osinbajo expressed the gratitude of the Federal Government to the rescue workers and medical personnel, who attended to the victims.
He also gave the assurance that security agencies were also working to apprehend the criminals behind the dastardly act and bring them to justice.
