"It is eight moments after the attacks, we have not received any assistance from the government.

"My present situation has forced me to move out of the accommodation to a cheaper place.

"Friends have been calling on phone but nobody has given me any assistance,`` he said.

Ndudi appealed to the Federal Government to implement the report on the attack and assist Nigerians who suffered losses.

"We also appeal to organisations and well meaning Nigerians to assist us restart our businesses. Life has not been easy for us," he said.
