In a compassionate gesture, the Gbagyi Media Professional Forum visited victims of the recent bomb explosion from the Bassa community in the Shiroro Local Government Area, Niger State. Led by its chairman, Malam Garba Gayya, the forum visited the injured at the IBB Specialist Hospital in Minna on Monday, where five victims are receiving treatment for various injuries.
The visit aimed to provide solace to the victims and their families. During the visit, the forum donated money to aid the victims' treatment and alleviate their suffering.
Malam Garba Gayya expressed deep sympathy for the victims and condemned the heinous bomb attack that caused their injuries. He voiced his astonishment that, more than a week after the tragic incident, the state government had not issued a statement condemning the attack.
The chairman urged the current administration to address the serious security issues in parts of Shiroro and Munya local governments, advocating for the reinstatement of military bases in these areas.
Responding on behalf of the victims, Abdullahi Shuaibu, visibly appreciative of the forum's visit and donation, thanked them for their kindness and support. He highlighted that the donation would significantly aid their treatment and recovery.
Shuaibu called on the government and security agencies to take necessary measures to prevent such incidents in the future and ensure the safety of lives and property in Bassa and its environs, enabling residents to live in peace.
The Gbagyi Media Professional Forum has been actively engaged in promoting the welfare and well-being of the people of Niger State, particularly those in Zone B.
