the time our correspondent visited the community, the victims were still
brooding over their loss.

his ordeal, one of the victims, Mr. Evis Okenyebulor, from Ilabor said the
storm destroyed many of his properties.
Another
victim, Nwannedi Okorie, also from
Ilabor wept bitterly over her loss, lamenting that the disaster occurred just
two weeks they lost their mother.

and the government to come to their aid.
