The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says it is offering free medical services to 3,000 victims of banditry from Kanoma Community in Maru Local Government Area (LGA) of Zamfara.

Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, made this known in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.

” The medical intervention, which began July 30, is designed to bring succour to villagers who were displaced by the activities of bandits prior to the commencement of the ongoing dialogue between the Zamfara Government and the bandits,” he said.

Daramola said the humanitarian initiative was in furtherance of the directive by the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, for the NAF Medical Services Branch to provide immediate medical assistance to residents of Kanoma and adjoining communities in Maru LGA.

He said Mr Bala Moru, the Secretary to Zamfara Government, who represented Gov. Bello Matawale, thanked NAF for the kind gesture in assuaging the plight of the people.

Matawale said that the Zamfara Government was happy with the initiative.

Daramola quoted Matawale as saying that as part of ongoing negotiation with the bandits, more than 200 persons in the hands of the bandits had been released.

The governor added that efforts were ongoing to secure the release of the remaining captives.

Daramola said the first day of the medical outreach witnessed a large turnout of villagers who were treated for different medical conditions.

He said the beneficiaries, who were elated by the gesture, expressed appreciation to NAF for the services provided by the Medical Team.

Daramola said Group Capt. Ali Tanko, the leader of the NAF Medical Team and Director of Public Health and Humanitarian Services, Headquarters NAF, said that the Team would remain in the area to provide medical services to about 3,000 patients.

Tanko said those requiring basic surgeries would be operated upon.

According to Tanko, the medical outreach would also provide free medical consultations, laboratory tests, free drugs, as well as insecticide-treated mosquito nets to pregnant women.

He said other services to be rendered were visual acuity checks, de-worming of children and distribution of prescription eye glasses to about 1,000 persons from the benefiting communities.

What a country...

Funny

If insurgency exceeds 24hours, the government has a hand in it. late Gen Sani Abacha

find permanent solution to insurgency rather than trying to render free whatever you call it...

It's treason for Buhari to plan to give land to foreign Fulanis, while Nigerians are IDPs.

These are IDPs have lost their lands & Buhari's plan is to give it to Foreign Fulanis.

This is treason.

Ask Buhari why Nigerian IDPs ďont get funding like RUGA?

With the way apc were campaning with insecurity during Gej's government, one would be mislead to think bokoharam and co will be wiped out within one week.

Its been 4 years now, and the biggest thing they've done towards curbing this menace is releasing all the bokoharam captured by the army over a period of 3 years.

Ask FG why Nigerian IDPs ďont get funding like Ruga settlement ?

After the 3000, what happens next, treat another batch??
Why not face the real disease (boko haram) to put end to their activities. I think that's best

It seems no other region exists in this country the north always at the receiving end

Why not deal with the cause that made them IDP instead of offering them poor medical services in the media . Have you given adequate medical services to your own wounded officers ?

How is this news and why FP? Are they not government so before who will take care of themn? This isn't worthy of FP ..I would have understood if a private entity offered the service and not one under government

always treating the wounded. What about the wounder... No news.
