The adviser said that Mr Tambuwal canceled his official engagements outside the state; to commiserate with the families of the victims, describing the incident as unfortunate.

“We pray that this kind of incident will not be repeated, we also pray for the souls of those killed and condole the families and people of the state,” he said.

Bello said that the governor was accompanied by members of the state executive council, representatives of the General Officer Commanding, GOC, the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, the Police and other security agencies in the state to condole with the families of the deceased.

Recalls that the outlawed Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, popularly known as Shi’ites had earlier said the two persons allegedly killed were not their members.

The banned IMN leader in Sokoto, Sheikh Sidi Manniru, told the newsmen on Tuesday that the Airforce claims that the deceased were members of IMN, were not true, stressing that his members were known to be non confrontational.
