Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, supervised the distribution of N100m in cash and wrappers to vulnerable women and widows in Damasak, headquarters of Mobar Local Government Council, on Tuesday.
Over 20,000 women, including housewives, widows and those from internally displaced camps, benefited from the distribution. Each woman received N5,000 in cash and one wrapper.
“In continuation of our efforts to support vulnerable communities and internally displaced persons in Damasak, headquarters of Mobar Local Government Area, we have distributed non-food items to over 20,000 vulnerable women, including housewives, widows and those from IDP camps,” Zulum said.

Meanwhile, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum interacted with teachers from Zanna Umarti Primary School and Government Secondary School in Damasak to identify problems facing the schools, including teacher welfare.
The governor approved 10 units of two-bedroom bungalow houses to accommodate teachers posted from elsewhere who are not residents of Damasak.
During the governor’s visit, each of the over 100 teachers in the two schools received cash support of N50,000.

Governor Zulum also distributed food items and other consumables and provided temporary shelters for about 3,847 returnee household that were previously taking refuge in the Republic of Niger.
Each of the household heads received N50,000 in cash, a token that qualifies them to receive food support from the government, as well as mats and blankets.
About 3,847 families comprising 23,291 persons have returned to Nigeria from Niger Republic since the takeover of power from civilian authorities by the military junta.
“The main reason for my visit is to assess the conditions of those who came from Niger and provide the necessary support to them. I received a report that many of you who recently returned do not have shelter and some basic necessities,” Zulum stated.
The governor added, “As a result of the crisis in Niger, they returned home, but unfortunately, they don’t have shelter. So, we are here to provide relief to them, especially blankets, mats, food, and non-food items.”

Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has again recounted his past life of crime and subsequent spiritual transformation, attributing his change to his Christian faith.
Dachomo made the disclosure during a religious gathering, where he shared his personal testimony of repentance and renewal.
“I was a notorious criminal in this village, a drug cartel in this village, a wanderer in this village. That is my testimony,” he said.
The pastor also claimed involvement in criminal activities in his earlier years.
“When I say 1980, it is our gang that robbed a bank, and the person that led that operation is my best friend,” he said.
He explained that his life took a new direction after he embrace Jesus during the robbery.
“When I submitted myself to Jesus, who is my Saviour, I allowed Him to control my life, and Jesus forgave my sin. I am a new person in Christ Jesus,” he said.
However, Dachomo has come under relentless attacks with many asking the authorities to investigate his confession and prosecuting him for his past criminality.
They accused him of infighting fire in the already existing crises between farmers and herders in the state especially when he was openly heard asking the youths to go to WAR.
