Atiku prayed for the souls of Abdulwahab and Hajiya Maryam, asking Almighty Allah to grant them Aljannah Firdaus and provide divine comfort to their loved ones.
He assured Governor Namadi that he is not alone in this moment of grief, as thoughts and prayers from across the nation are with him and his family.

Those who took part in the procession spoke out about the rising insecurity and called for healing, unity, and a renewed sense of justice in the state.
The recent surprise visit to Benue State by President Bola Tinubu has stirred many reactions from the public.
