Donned in a black kaftan, Osinbajo who tried to fight back emotions during his speech, consoled with people of the State over the unfortunate incident.

He sympathised with the State Governor, Samuel Ortom, and the people of the State, over the sad and unfortunate incident.
He also prayed to God to give the bereaved families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
Rotimi Amaechi, on his part, broke down in tears, as he sighted the caskets being lowered into the graves.
He was seen repeatedly using a handkerchief to dab his tears.
