In his words: “This is very horrific and remains very condemnable. It is sad this can happen in our nation today. Nobody can say why this young boy can do a thing like this to his own family members and the society.
“We remain in solidarity condemning such act at the people. My reason for coming here is to show that solidarity and support in their care in one way or the other and the hospital management in what they are doing and again condemn this senseless act of violent killing.
“We therefore condole with the government and the good people of Kano as well urge all as a country to stand together in fighting such a senseless act,” Obi stated.
Seven of the eight surviving victims were seen in the Surgical Ward C while one, who is in critical condition is in the Mother ICU of the hospital, battling for his life.
