The Ebedaowei of Kabowei kingdom, HRH Aserifa Hope Torru has urged the Bayelsa State government to activate the State Emergency Management Agency to offer relief materials for flood-displaced victims in his territory.

He recently revealed that even if flooding in the five Kabowei communities of Adagbabiri, Trofani, Asamabiri, Ekpereware, and Elemebiri is a yearly disaster, the prediction that this year would be worse is already manifesting.

According to him, there is now a need for the quick intervention of both the federal, state government, and interventionist agencies like the Niger Delta Development Commission to step in.

He added that the flooding in his community is the biggest problem they battle every year and so much has been lost since it started.

His words, β€œThe flood this year will be worse than that of 2012 . The water is rising every minute and I hope and pray that our people do all that is possible to remain safe.

β€œThere is the urgent need for some form of relief materials to be sent to all our communities of Adagbabiri, Trofani, Asamabiri, Ekpereware and Elemebiri. They are all seriously affected.”

β€œThe flooding in our community is the biggest problem we are facing every year. We have lost so much to it and need the federal government through its responsive agencies to come to our aid. The state and local government also have a role to play in providing succour to our people. Trofani is not the only community affected by this disaster, four other communities in Kabowei Clan are also affected. We need urgent attention.”
