Bukar Talba; the Secretary to the Borno State Government, Bukar Tijani; and the Acting Chief of Staff to the Governor, Dr. Babagana Mustapha Malumbe.

The visits provided an opportunity for the governor and his entourage to stand in solidarity with the affected families and offer prayers for the repose of the souls of the deceased.
