Usman told the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Lafia that the thunder struck on Tuesday morning during a downpour killing all the 21 cows belonging to a herdsman, Malam Bature Lere.
He appealed to the state Government, authorities of the Lafia East Development Area and public spirited individuals to assist Lere who lost all his cows to the thunder.
“I am appealing to Gov. Umaru Al-Makura to assist this man who lost all his cows to the disaster,” he said.
He, however, advised the herdsman to regard the incident as an act of God and pray for a better future.
Narrating his ordeal, Lere said the incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday during a downpour.
He said that the cows were all that he had and appealed to the state government and well meaning individuals to come to his aid.
Maybe Cows should start wearing Thunder arrestors....

They are beginning to reap what they have sowed. Thank God he realised it was not a natural occurrences.
