A resident of the community, Irmiya Zakka, said the incident happened as a result of a downpour, which came with a strong windstorm. According to him, it is an incident that they have never witnessed before.
Irmiya who is equally a victim of the incident called on the Bauchi State Government and wealthy individuals to urgently come to the aid of the affected persons, who are now homeless, as well as their only school, which has been affected by the windstorm.
