He noted that he has been in touch with the state governor, Bindow Jibrilla, and has also directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to ensure the speedy and adequate provision of medical supplies and relief materials to the victims.
Professor Osinbajo, however, assured the people that security agencies have been directed to immediately take steps to beef up security in Mubi and environs, especially markets and places of worship.
He said efforts were already ongoing by the agencies to apprehend the perpetrators of the act with a view to bringing them to justice.
Osinbajo conveyed the gratitude of the Federal Government to the rescue workers, medical personnel, and others who attended to the victims after the unfortunate incident.
Confirming the number of casualty to Channels Television, the Principal Medical Officer of Mubi General Hospital, Dr Edgar Sakawa, revealed that about 56 others sustained various degrees of injuries.
