Nearly 2,000 displaced, schools damaged as windstorm wreaks havoc in Gushegu
A windstorm destroyed over 250 houses and displaced nearly 2,000 residents in several communities in the Gushegu constituency. The storm struck overnight, ripping off roofs and flattening structures. Multiple school facilities were affected, including classroom blocks in Limo, Zinindo, Digbila, Gaa, and parts of the Gushegu township.
Alhassan Tampuli, the Member of Parliament for Gushegu, toured the affected areas to assess the damage after reports from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and local Assembly Members. Alhassan Tampuli began with a courtesy call on the Municipal Chief Executive, Hafiz Adam, who had earlier visited the communities. Alhassan Tampuli described Wednesday, April 8, as a tragic day for his constituents, noting that the storm denied residents a peaceful night and left widespread destruction.
Alhassan Tampuli announced the mobilisation of 500 bags of cement and 100 packets of roofing sheets for distribution to affected communities to support immediate relief efforts. He also appealed to government, non-governmental organisations, corporate institutions, and individuals to offer support, warning that delays in repairing damaged school structures could disrupt academic activities, especially as the rainy season approaches.
