Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Vice President Kashim Shettima paid a condolence visit to the victims and families who lost their members in the suicide bombings in Gwoza, Borno State, on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Hell was let loose on Saturday, as news filtered in that a female detonated bombs in a wedding ceremony and killed over 30 persons and injured many others.<\/p>\n

Shettima, while on the condolence visit, described the incident as pathetic.<\/p>\n

Speaking with journalists immediately after meeting and commiserating with victims of the attack at the State Specialist Hospital, Maiduguri, the Number Two citizen conveyed the condolences of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the Borno State government and the people of Gwoza.<\/p>\n

The Vice President later made a personal donation to all the victims of the attacks and condoled with the families of those killed by the multiple explosions, saying the heart of the President is with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe heart of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is with the victims and he specifically instructed us to come and offer our condolences and commiserations to the victims of this incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here with the Director General of NEMA, with the Minister of Agriculture, with the Minister of Transportation and, of course, the Chief Whip of the Senate, a son of the soil from Gwoza, who was here since yesterday (Sunday), and the Acting Governor. They have been working round the clock to provide succour and support to the victims,\u201d Shettima stated.<\/p>\n

He said further: \u201cIt was a very pathetic scene. Our hearts go out to the victims. So far, we have recorded 32 deaths; 42 of those injured were brought in from Gwoza and about 14 have been discharged, while about 26 are currently receiving attention.\u201d<\/p>\n
