PODOR- The incident occurred yesterday at around 21 hours, while the inhabitants were entrenched in their concessions because of the storm. “It happened around 9 o’clock and the people were all in the concessions. The damage could have been much heavier, because the lightning fell to only 20 metres of a case “, testifies a resident still under the shock. This Sunday, a delegation led by the commandant of the brigade de gendarmerie de Ndioum, accompanied by a veterinarian, went to the place to verify the facts. The owner of the animals, Baba Thillo Ba, estimated the loss at more than 3 million CFA francs.
