Around 50 people have been confirmed dead in Jagawa State, and many more have been displaced as floods ravaged the state.
While briefing reporters in Dutse on Sunday, Sani Yusuf, Executive Secretary of the State Emergency Management Agency, explained that the flood also destroyed thousands of houses.
As a result of the floods, he claims that many residents have been forced to seek refuge in government buildings.
He explained that the state government had opened 11 temporary camps that housed many displaced people.
According to him, some of the victims are from Balangu village, where no fewer than 237 houses were submerged under water and destroyed with four people dead.
“We have so many displaced persons in about 11 temporary camps. In Balangu alone, 237 houses have been damaged and the occupants are now living in a temporary camp,” he explained.
