Adamawa: Controversies trail N5 billion donations one year after Mokwa flood disaster

One year after the deadly flood of May 29, 2025 in Mokwa, Niger State, which killed over 200 people and displaced thousands, survivors are still struggling to rebuild their lives. The bridge linking Rabba to Mokwa collapsed, isolating the community despite a temporary wooden bridge. On May 29, 2026, a peaceful march led by community leader Alhaji Usman Ndagba demanded reconstruction of the bridge and transparency over the management of N5 billion in donations. Controversies over the use of funds and relief materials continue to fuel public debate.
