Two people have reportedly been swept away by flood in the Dakingari area of Kebbi State. The victims were carried away by the floodwaters after their community was submerged following a heavy downpour lasting several hours.
It was gathered that the heavy rainfall devastated over 200 houses in the Argungu area of the state and caused extensive damage to many other homes and properties worth several millions of naira in Dakingari.
The community had been facing serious flood issues before this incident, which ultimately claimed the lives of two villagers.
One of the community leaders, Abubakar Usman, stated that the state government has expressed its sympathy and concern for the affected communities and assured them of its commitment to providing support and relief.
