Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) Brigade, the law enforcement unit of the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment, has donated food items confiscated from illegal street traders to Bab-Es-Salam Charitable Home at GRA, Ikeja.
This was made known in a release issued by the agency’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Tunde Olusesi and made available to Lagos Bulletin.
KAI Marshal General, Captain Danjuma Maigeri (rtd), in the release, restated that the donations were made following the directive of the Commissioner for the Environment, Dr. Muiz Banire, who ordered that confiscated perishable items should be donated to orphanages.
“My honourable commissioner is a kind-hearted man. He had directed that perishable items confiscated should be donated to motherless homes instead of allowing them to waste,†he stated.
Donating the items, Mr. Tunde Olusesi told the management of the home that the state government has encouraged the home to continue in its humanitarian service which, according to him, attracts God’s blessing.
“We believe that this donation will help in alleviating part of the nutritional problems of the inmates of your home,†the PRO stated.
Hajia Fatimoh Muhammed, the matron, who received the items on behalf of the management of the home, expressed gratitude to the commissioner and the entire staff of the Ministry of the Environment, for the gesture towards the less privileged in the society. “We pray that Almighty Allah will bless and reward you abundantly,†she prayed.
Lagos Bulletin was informed that orphanages that had benefited from such gesture in the past include, Little Saints Orphanage, Palm Grove; Bethlehem Home, Egbeda; Nigerian Red Cross Motherless and Abandoned Babies’ Home, Makoko, Yaba and Boys Remand Home, Oregun, among others.
