The government of Gombe State has launched an investigation into the incident that led to the killing of five worshipers during a procession along the Gombe–Yola Federal Highway.
The Governor of the State, Inuwa Yahaya ordered a full-scale investigation into the incident where a trailer transporting goods rammed into the worshipers on the highway in the Billiri Local Government Area of the state.
