SARKIN AREWA NUPE SYMPATHIZES WITH THE PEOPLE OF MOKWA OVER TRAGIC FLOOD INCIDENT
Alhaji Ismail Usman Sarki, MNSE, the Sarkin Arewa Nupe, extends his heartfelt condolences to the government and good people of Mokwa Local Government Area following the devastating flood incident caused by heavy rainfall from last night until this morning.
The tragic occurrence has sadly led to the loss of approximately 60 lives and the destruction of homes, properties, and livelihoods. In this moment of deep sorrow, the Sarkin Arewa Nupe shares in the grief of the affected families and prays for Allah’s mercy upon the departed souls, strength for the bereaved, and quick recovery for those injured.
He describes the incident as a painful and unfortunate natural disaster that has brought sorrow to not just Mokwa but the entire Nupe Kingdom and beyond. He urges the people to remain strong and united during this period of grief and to continue to offer support to one another.
Sarkin Arewa Nupe also appeals to local, state, and federal authorities—as well as non-governmental organizations and well-meaning individuals—to come to the aid of the victims through relief efforts, shelter, and long-term recovery assistance to help rebuild their lives.
May Allah (SWT) grant eternal rest to those who lost their lives in this tragic event. May He grant their families the strength and patience to bear the loss, heal the injured, and restore what has been lost. May this kind of calamity never befall us again. Ameen.
