Over 50 families have been rendered homeless following wind and rainstorm that occurred on Thursday night in Minna, Niger state.The rainstorm which lasted for about three hours destroyed houses, schools, churches, mosques, and shops.
There were tears from those whose houses were completely destroyed as most of them are concerned over where to get a roof over their head while others wondered where they could get the resources to rebuild their houses. Another resident said “even if I want to get roofing sheets for my house, how or where will I get it. These people are not selling. I could not get all of the roofing sheets that were blown away. But we will manage anyhow.”Garba Hamidu bemoaned how he will have to spend money that he is not planning to use to repair the house, “for now, I will leave this side that has fallen; I will only close up some areas, then do the fence. I don’t have enough to do everything at once. This is extra expenses.
