Flooding Kills Two and Submerges 18 Communities in Nasarawa State

Flooding submerged 18 communities in the Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, killing two people and displacing several residents. Information, Culture and Tourism Commissioner Dr Nawani Aboki urged people in flood-prone areas to move to higher ground and not return until the waters recede. Governor Abdullahi Sule directed the state emergency management agency to assess the damage, as the government prepares assistance and relief supplies. Buildings and farmland were damaged, and authorities warned that further water from Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam could worsen the flooding.
