Malam Tukur Adamu, a firewood seller at the roadside disclosed that ” today 3-01-2023, the Harmattan becomes too harsh, look at how the Town remain in darkness due to the dust that overtakes everywhere, but it is seasonal in the next few days the Harmattan would cease for the people to continue with their normal activities”.
