Heavy flood has hit Mokwa community, Niger State, from Wednesday night —resulting to the death of many while several more others are reported missing: suspected to have been swept away by the flood as over 50 houses were submerged.

While the details are yet unknown, some eyewitnesses reported that flood came through after there was a heavy downpour which started in the middle of the night.

From the report, no fewer than 21 corpses have been recovered from the flood as hundreds of families are currently displaced and running to where ever they can for shelter; schools, mosques, etc.

Those whose bodies were recovered already dead include children, women and men.

According to a resident who identified himself as Mohammed Usman, the flood was very devastating as many bodies are yet to be found, especially those in areas where houses were completely submerged.
