During his visit to the large group of IDPs who took refuge in Ashalafiya village,  governor Matawalle deeply sympathises with the bereaved communities and promised that adequate intervention and security will be provided with immediate effect,  just as there will also be a continuous supply of feeding and protection of their  lives until they are resettled.  


In Janbako community of Maradun local government,  Governor Matawalle,  while sympathizing  with the bereaved community, donated a sum of five (5m)  million naira to lessen the sufferings of the victims.
