Jebbu Miango is one of the communities in Irigwe Chiefdom of Bassa Local Government Area of the State that have come under series of attacks in recent times.It has over 20,000 people who are largely Irigwe native.
Speaking to DAILY POST, Awiki Musa, a victim of some of the attacks, said life had been hellish for the natives. Also speaking, Auta Danjuma, a father of five who lost his wife, property and farm during the attacks, commended the humanitarian organisation for reaching out to them. Mr Felix Dimka, the Project Officer, Emergency Preparedness and Response Team of JDPC, disclosed that the projects were supported by Menonite Central Committee and Mission 21, both international organisations.
”Also, mission 21, another organisation, provided us with funds and we rehabilitated the houses of eleven most vulnerable among the victims. ”We have supported the victims with foodstuff, clothing, toiletries and other necessary items not only in Jebbu Miango, but other affected communities in the locality as well.
”We don’t work in the fields, so when JDPC came with the report of the assessment it conducted in the community, we saw the need to provide this support.
