On our side as NEMA, we rescued about 200 people between yesterday and today.

”On the day of the incident, over 1,000 people were rescued, while over 70,000 have been profiled in seven camps.”

On the number of casualties, Garba said: “The number cannot be ascertained now,” adding that so far NEMA has issued four body bags.
