SOKOTO — The Chairman of Kebbe Local Government Area of Sokoto State, Hon. Musa Garba Kuchi, has donated N500,000 to Mallam Sani Gwandi to enable him undergo surgery following a gunshot injury he sustained during an attack by suspected Lakurawa bandits on Ungushi village.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Secretary, Kebbe Local Government Council, Alhaji Shamsudeen Umar Maiakwai, and made available to newsmen in Sokoto on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the donation was made when the Chairman visited the victim at the Orthopaedic Hospital, Wamakko, where he is currently receiving medical attention.
It would be recalled that suspected Lakurawa bandits had on Sunday attacked Ungushi village in Kebbe Local Government Area, where they allegedly killed two persons and injured several others, including Mallam Sani Gwandi who sustained a gunshot injury on his leg.
However, three of the marauding bandits were reportedly neutralized by a combined team of local vigilantes who swiftly repelled the attack.
During the visit, Hon. Kuchi assured the victim that, Insha Allah, Kebbe Local Government Council will continue to do its best, as usual, to support anyone affected by such calamity.
He prayed for the quick recovery of Mallam Sani Gwandi and reassured the people of the area of the council’s commitment to their welfare and security.
The statement added that the Chairman was accompanied during the visit by the Secretary of the Local Government, Alhaji Shamsudeen Umar Maiakwai, the District Head of Ungushi, Alhaji Idris Abubakar, the Director of Administration of the Local Government, Alhaji Nasiru Arzika, and Alhaji Ibrahim Umar.
