A devastating flood has struck Kabba, the headquarters of Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The disaster, which occurred after three days of uninterrupted rainfall, has destroyed over 500 houses, leaving many families without shelter. Properties worth millions of naira have also been lost, further exacerbating the suffering of the affected residents.
The flood, which was triggered by the overflow of streams and brooks, has had a significant impact on the community. Many residents have been displaced, and the destruction of homes and properties has caused immense hardship. The affected families are in dire need of assistance to rebuild their lives.
This disaster highlights the need for effective disaster management and mitigation strategies in the region. The government and relevant authorities must take immediate action to provide relief to the affected families and work towards preventing similar disasters in the future.
In a related development, neighboring Ondo State has also been affected by flooding, with hundreds of residents displaced after a three-day downpour caused flooding in the state’s three senatorial districts.
