On 10th February, 2017, Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya, Omi Adio Dil’a visited some dedicated elders in the Jama’at, who have served the community all their lives, to give them sense of belongings.

Pa. Fatai Alabi from Oke-Oloro Jama’at was among those visited.

Also, the welfare team, led by the Dil’a Qaid, Bro.Abdul Mujeeb Apooyin, paid a visit to Alh. Uthman Olanipekun Badmus, who was once a veteran Tabligh instrument to Ahmadiyya Jama’at, Nigeria, till old age tied him to his house.

During interactions with him, he asserted that what used to be his fear that deteriorating physical condition would stop his Daa-hilallah tour is really hitting him hard. He advised members of the Majlis Khuddam to develop innermost acumen for Tabligh activities. Two other aged visited were: Mama Y. Sarumi, also blind and Pa. Sanusi, a stroke survivor from Orisunbare Jama’at.
