LATA COMMUNAL CLASH: HON. AHMED NDAKENE FACILITATES RELIEF MATERIALS

The member representing Edu/Moro/Patigi Federal Constituency has facilitated relief materials for the people of Lata community in Patigi LGA of Kwara State from National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

Recall that the people of Lata-Nna Community some months ago had a communal clash with the Fulani herdsmen which led to the loss of lives, destruction of properties and displacement of some members of the community.

Hon. Ndakene thereafter, paid an empathy and assessment visit to the community to ascertain the level of destruction and possible ways to bring back the community to its normal life, stressing the need for a peaceful coexistence. It was during this visit that the Federal Lawmaker promised to relate with NEMA on how best to help cushion the effects of the crisis on the people.

This promise has however been fulfilled with the following relief materials delivered to the people of Lata-Nna community by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) on Saturday, 28th November, 2020, at Emir of Patigi's Palace, Patigi.

241 25kg bags of rice.

241 12.5kg bags of beans.

241 12.5kg bags of maize.

24 kegs of Vegetable Oil.

982 forms of mattresses.

723 pieces of blanket.

723 pieces of mosquito nets.

20 cartons of tin tomatoes.

40 cartons of seasoning Maggi and

12 bags of salt.

The materials which were presented by Mr. Abdulkareem Abubakar who represented Head of Operation (Relief and Rehabilitation) NEMA were received with joy by the members of the community who applauded NEMA and Hon. Ndakene for what they described as "Tears Wiping".

The Makun of Lata, Alh. Ahmed Mohammed, while appreciating NEMA, commended the Lawmaker for standing by them throughout the hard times and for also facilitating the relief materials.
