Heavy Down Pour Storm Ilorin, Destroyed several Houses - community cries out, call for government assistance. Yesterday, it was a rainy experience for people within Ilorin metropolis as rain stormed the city and selectively destroyed several properties. The rainy experience was not favorable. The SATCOMMEDIA learnt that the rainstorm that occurred on Saturday night also displaced many people at Oke Ogun community, in Edun, Idiagbon community, in Emirs road, Isale-Gambari among other affected areas. Though no lives were lost in the incident. An eyewitness from the community affirmed the incident and call on government for assistance, as many people left were devastated with little or without hope of assistance from any quarters. He however, further stressed that, any assistance for non-governmental organizations would go along way in restoring the lost hope and further placed them back to normal life.
I extend my best wishes to Muslim communities here in Kwara state and around the world for seeing the end of the blessed month of Ramadan. The period was a time for self-reflection, devotion and fervent prayer. It is a time for renewing faith and strengthening the bonds between family and friends.
Eid marks a new beginning for each individual and despite the challenges posed by this present pandemic (Covid 19) which has ravaged the world, we should still hope for the blessings that comes with the blessed month.
We should also endeavor to protect ourselves and our loved ones by adhering to social distancing and other guidelines.
I wish everyone harmony, happiness and unity during this special time. May this eid celebration bring peace and blessings to us in Kwara and the world in general.
HAPPY EID FITR
