It would be recalled that the agency had given Sheikh Zakzaky an award for his campaign on blood donation in the religious circle to save human lives.

Brothers and Sister in Kaduna who queued up for the blood donation at the LEA Primary School Zango Tudunwada Kaduna, venue of the majlis, epressed their willingness to give more for the sake of the pure blood of Imam Husain (AS) spilled on the plain of Karbala on Ashura Day.
