Be your brothers’ keepers, Masari tells communities hosting Zamfara IDPs

Katsina state governor, Aminu Masari, has visited the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) taking refuge in Faskari and Kankara towns and charged the residents of the communities to offer them shelters especially during this harmattan season.

Speaking at the two camps, Masari said the cold weather and harmattan period will further compound the woes of the victims noting that proper shelter will be much better to house them.

Daily Trust reports that over 2,163 IDPs have relocated to the state since the recent bandits’ attack on their communities in Tsafe Local government area of Zamfara state. They are presently occupying primary schools at the two towns.

According to him, his administration will not relent in its efforts to assist the victims noting that “as Muslims our religion enjoins us to look out for each other and as such we should imbibe such teaching”

In their separate remarks, the transition committee chairman of Faskarai and Kankara local government areas,  Bala Ado and Anas Isa said the councils have been doing their best with available resources to assist the victims by proving mats, blankets and foods to the victims.
