Member representing Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency in Kaduna state, Honourable Yakubu Umar Barde, has donated relief materials to victims of recent attacks and killings in Karmai of Maro ward in Kajuru local government area of the state.
The Minority Whip, who got re-elected in the presidential and National Assembly elections, condemned the unwarranted reccurring killings in the area and called on government and well meaning individuals to come to the aid of people who are now rendered homeless.
Some of the items donated includes, 30 bags of 50kg perboiled rice, 300 new wrappers, 10 (25kg) litres of vegetable oil, 10 (25kg) litres of red oil, 10 bags of maize, 50 cartons of noddles and 27 cartons of maggi, 233 pieces of buckets, plastic cups and trays, 10 cartons of detergent, 20 cartons of bathing soap, 15 cartons of vaseline, 10 packs of 10 sachets of sugar, 10 packs of 40 sachets of salt and 10 bags of 48 pairs of slippers among other items.
Matthew Augustine, who represented Barde, told the victims that Hon. Barde would have been around in person but lost a very close friend on Sunday morning hence his absence. He condoled the victims and prayed to God for the people never to see such attack again while urging them not to contemplate any form of reprisal but to trust God for vengeance on their behalf.
Receiving the items on behalf of the victims, the District Head of Kufena, His Highness Titus Dauda under whose domain the attacked village falls, commended the Member for his magnanimity in remembering his subject in their moment of pains. He expressed the appreciation of his chiefdom on behalf of the victims and prayed God to bless the Member for his kind gesture.
Some of the victims, who lost dear ones or had their houses burnt down also applauded their representative for the relief materials extended to them, which they said will go a long way to cushion the effect of the attack on them.
