Yunus Sani, a Mamba youth leader, expressed his gratitude for inviting residents to this event. “We both heard, earlier the commander gave an explanation that the program made by the 330 Task force aims to make residents smile happily. We residents are ready to support,” he said.

“One more thing, I’m telling this directly from the residents. Many residents tell stories, they say the 330 commander is a good person, because they don’t know the name, so the residents usually call him with SONOBI SEJURIA. Sonobi means Great King, Sejuria means smiling.” Yunus said firmly explaining the nickname given by the residents to the commander.
