Adamawa village is flooded
Comment
A village in Yola North LGA called Anguwan Tana was flooded on Thursday due to overflow from the rivers Kilange and Faro.
The farming community is located in the state capital along the River Benue, which flows through Yola.
The community’s residents bemoaned the loss of their crops as a result of the severe flooding.
Dr. Mohammed Suleiman, the Executive Secretary of the Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency, ADSEMA, visited the devastated region on Friday and stated that if the locals had followed the warnings about potential floods, their suffering would have been spared.
The head of ADSEMA told reporters, “We had informed them when we got the prognosis of floods before the beginning of the rainy season.
He promised them of both food and non-food assistance supplies while emphasizing the necessity for them to constantly work with the administration.
Malam Rabiu Ibrahim, the community’s ward chief, blamed the flood on insufficient drainage and urged the state government to take action.
Aisha Mohammed, a mother of 10 and one of the victims, said: “We have kids, and the water is really unclean. The government needs to take action and move us somewhere safer since it poses a risk to our health and the environment.
Even though the government has been warning us about the flood, we have nowhere to go, she said. The only location we have is here.vvvvv
