In his response, the Chief of Garba Chede expressed deep appreciation for the gesture and appealed to the Taraba State Government and other well-meaning Nigerians to also support the victims.

 

Some of the beneficiaries expressed gratitude for the assistance and urged for additional support, especially in the form of building materials to help them reconstruct their homes.

 

According to community reports, the windstorm affected 923 households, with 124 families completely displaced.
