The farmers claimed they had never come across such a storm during early February.
Farmers who spoke with this portal expressed shock at the windstorm claiming "this is unusual, it's unprecedented. We have decided not to raise plantain and banana farms again because a lot of money has gone into our demolished farms”.
They have however called on the government and all wealthy individuals for financial support.
