Namadi Sambo’s chopper pulls down home of a 78 yr old

The wind generated by the Vice President, Namadi Sambo’s chopper, had pulled down the home of 78-year-old Mrs. Bessie Obi and four other occupants of the house when he visited Buanchor, a rural community in Boki Local Government Area of Cross River State devastated by flood.

The septuagenarian was rescued by officers of Cross River State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA, and their counterparts from National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, from the three room mud house, though some of the property of the occupants were destroyed.

The Vice President was unaware of the incident but the state Director–General of SEMA, Mr. Vincent Aquah, who assessed the damage, sympathized with the old woman and the other occupants of the house, promising that the incident would be addressed shortly. (Credit: Vanguard)
