The Kebbi State Government has provided relief materials to a displaced woman, Hindatu Lauwali, who recently gave birth to triplets after fleeing a bandit attack in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of the state.
Lauwali delivered two boys and a girl on October 25, 2026, at Danko/Wasagu General Hospital. However, the newborns were later referred to the Federal Teaching Hospital, Birnin Kebbi, where they are currently receiving treatment for neonatal jaundice.
The assistance, which included food items, mattresses and other essential supplies, was provided through the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) following a directive from Governor Nasir Idris.
The Chairman of SEMA, Kabiru Bako Zauro, said the governor was moved by the woman’s situation after receiving reports that she was living in an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Kwargiye community.
According to him, the intervention was aimed at supporting the mother and her newborns while they receive the necessary medical attention.
Lauwali reportedly fled her hometown of Ragam village after bandits invaded and took control of the community, forcing residents to abandon their homes in search of safety.

Recounting her experience, she explained that her condition deteriorated during pregnancy, prompting the village head, Muhammad Ragam, to arrange medical assistance.
She was subsequently taken to Zuru Local Government Area by a joint Da’awa group for further medical attention.
The mother disclosed that she delivered her first baby without assistance, while medical personnel at Danko/Wasagu General Hospital helped her deliver the remaining two children.
She expressed gratitude to the Emir of Zuru, Alhaji Sanusi Mika’ilu-Sami, and others who supported her throughout her pregnancy, childbirth and displacement.
Meanwhile, the state government reaffirmed its commitment to assisting vulnerable residents and victims of insecurity through humanitarian interventions across Kebbi State.
