The incident occurred at about 2pm near the popular IMAN Restaurant on Bauchi Road, where the bus suddenly ran into the celebrants as a result of suspected faulty brake, unleashing anxiety and tension.

Our correspondent reports that the incident sparked outrage in Gombe, prompting a mob to attack the driver who reportedly escaped.

His vehicle loaded with rice and other grains was, however, smashed and burned.

The spokesperson of the Gombe State Police Command, Buhari Abdullahi, also confirmed the incident, saying the injured victims were rushed to the Federal Teaching Hospital Gombe and Specialist Hospital, for medical attention.

He, however, said that there was no death recorded in the incident.

The Police Spokesman added that the Command has launched an investigation into the incident, with the State’s Commissioner of Police directing the Command’s Motor Traffic Department (MTD) to carry out a discreet probe.

The police urged the public to remain calm as a combined team of police officers and Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) leaders were containing the situation to prevent any further incidents.

Our correspondent also reports that the scene was cordoned off by soldiers, policemen and Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) personnel.

Meanwhile, the state governor, Inuwa Yahaya, has sympathised with the State chapter of CAN and the victims on the tragedy.

He extended his sympathy while addressing the Association at the Government House, Gombe, on Wednesday evening.

The governor also directed that the medical bills of the victims be handled by the state government.
