The Muslim Cadets Ummah of the Nigeria Police Academy Wudil, Kano state, has donated essential relief materials to flood victims in Borno State, focusing on women, children, and the elderly.
This gesture was contained in a statement issued by ASP Nahum Kenneth Daso, spokesman of the Borno State Police Command on Friday.
The donated items include seven large bags of new clothes, five sacks of used clothes and blankets, two large bags of women’s clothes, and a bag each of soap, detergent, and assorted food items.
These essential supplies will directly benefit women, children, and other vulnerable individuals, many of whom have lost their possessions and sources of livelihood due to the floods.
Representing the cadets, ASP Abubakar Yusuf Abadam highlighted the severity of the flood disaster, which has displaced many families and left thousands in need of support.
He commended the Borno State Government's efforts to mitigate the impact of the disaster, under the leadership of Governor Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum.
The floods, which caused by the overflow of the Alau Dam, have devastated several communities in Borno State, leaving thousands homeless and vulnerable to food insecurity, lack of shelter, and health hazards.
The Muslim Cadets Ummah's donation brings hope and comfort to those most in need.
Engr Baba Bukar Gujbawu, chairman of the flood relief disbursement committee, expressed deep gratitude to the Muslim Cadets Ummah for their timely support, emphasizing the importance of such humanitarian efforts during this challenging time.
