Residents of Bakin Kogi Kaninkon in Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State have appealed to Nigerians to assist in rebuilding the 109 houses destroyed during an attack on the community in 2017.
The chairman of Bakin Kogi Relief Committee, Zubairu Yohanna, made the appeal yesterday while conducting the Executive Director of Care and Action Research (Care-NGO), Mrs Joy Dogo, round the affected houses.
According to him, N218million was needed to rebuild the affected houses recalling that 15 people were killed and about 3,000 rendered homeless as a result of the attack.
