Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>No fewer than 50 houses were destroyed on Friday night when a powerful windstorm swept through Mahanga community in Awe Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.<\/p>\n

The extent of the destruction was confirmed by a community leader, James Arthur, who spoke to journalists on Saturday in Lafia, the state capital.<\/p>\n

Arthur appealed to the state governor, Abdullahi Sule, the local government chairman, and other political office holders to urgently intervene and assist residents affected by the disaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, the residents of Mahanga community in Awe Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, are bringing to your attention the devastating impact of the severe windstorm that hit our community yesterday,\u201d Arthur said.<\/p>\n

He explained that the storm had damaged homes, infrastructure, and a school, leaving many families stranded and without shelter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe kindly appeal to the government and members of the public to provide emergency assistance to help us recover from this disaster,\u201d he pleaded. \u201cYour timely intervention would be greatly appreciated in providing relief materials, shelter, and support to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Arthur, the windstorm removed the roofs of many homes and caused the complete collapse of others, rendering numerous households homeless.<\/p>\n

Residents have called for immediate support in the form of food supplies, temporary shelters, building materials, and medical aid to help those displaced by the disaster.<\/p>\n
