A concerned member of the Nigerian National Association of the Deaf (NNAD), Adamu Idris Adamu Lamba, has expressed alarm over the rising cases of missing Deaf individuals in the country, particularly those without formal education.

In an open letter to NNAD's leadership under Comrade Haruna Muhammad Tsafe, Lamba highlighted the difficulties in identifying and tracing missing Deaf persons due to lack of identification.

He proposed that NNAD should introduce a policy making it mandatory for all Deaf individuals to possess a valid ID card, facilitating easy identification and tracing.

Lamba's appeal aims to bring attention to the welfare of Deaf Nigerians and urge action to address this pressing issue, Ability News Network reports
