Post created on 10:00 am

Renowned Oral Literature and Folklore, Prof. G G Darah has called on religious bodies, NGOs and good-spirited individuals to urgently respond and offer assistance to thousands of deltans who have been displaced by the flood.

He made this known in an interview with CROWN FM at Otu-Jeremi, headquarters of Ughelli South Local Government Area in Delta State.

Darah reacting to the devastating level of this year’s flood in the State, charged religious organisations to take advantage of the present situation to demonstrate the love which they daily preach in their various altars and mobilize food, clothing and cash to address the challenges presently confronting thousands of deltans who have been displaced by floods in various parts of the State.

Speaking further while commending DESOPADEC for its efforts to set up an IDP camp in the Okwagbe community and distribute relief materials, the University Don asserted that the Urhobos, Isokos, Ijaws and other riverine communities used to encounter emergencies in the past before the government was formed.

That he has started raising funds to add to what DESOPADEC and other spirited individuals have done.
