Ughelli – NATIONAL President of the Anglican Adams Preaching Society, AAPS, Evangelist Francis Usenu, has warned government officials and others entrusted with the management of relief materials donated to flood victims in Delta State against diversion of the items.
Usenu, who spoke shortly after he presented food and other relief materials on behalf of the AAPS to 13 flood victims camps across the state, commended the state government for not paying deaf ears to the plight of the displaced persons.
He urged the flood victims to give their lives to Christ, noting that the end time would be much more difficult than the travails they were going through as a result of the flood. He told the affected persons not to see their present predicament as the end of life.
Similarly, City of Liberty International Church, Sedco, Udu Local Government Area, donated medical materials and drugs worth thousands of naira to flood victims at camp settlements in Ughelli North and South Local Government Areas of the State.
Presenting the items at the medical unit of the camps, the team leader, Pastor Sunny Aruwayo said the donation was part of the church contribution towards arresting emergency situations that could arise in the camps. Meanwhile, President General of Oviri-Olomu community, Ughelli South Local Government Area, Mr Simon Ebrobota yesterday appealed to the state government to come to the aid of flood displaced victims in the community.
Ebrobota, who spoke yesterday at the camp set up by the community for the displaced persons after conducting journalists round some flooded areas in the community, described the flood as highly devastating.
