A community leader has called on the National Emergency management Agency and Kogi State Emergency Management Agency to assist displaced persons of Agojeju-Odo and Abejukolo communities in the Omala Local Government Area with relief materials.
The spokesman for Agojeju-Odo Community, Thomas Acheneje, made the call while speaking in Lokoja on Thursday.
Agojeju-Odo and Abejukolo communities in Omala LGA of Kogi , were on April 4 attacked by bandits, leaving 25 dead and several others injured.
The community leader expressed worry over the likely disease outbreak in some of the crowded IDP camps and the houses of relatives and friends they are camping with.
He added, “As members of the affected communities, we have been trying our best to assist our people, but the situation has overwhelmed us.”.
“We are aware of the plight of the displaced persons in Agojeju-Odo and Abejukolo communities and will, by God’s grace, reach out to them by Friday with some relief materials.
“Governor Usman Ododo’s administration is a caring one and won’t abandon its citizens for no just cause,” Mr Joseph assured.
