11 Persons Dead In Yobe Flood, Nearly 200 Houses Destroyed

By SaharaReporters, New York
A top government source has just informed SaharaReporters that at least 11 persons died two days ago in a flood that swept through Gashua, Yobe State. Our source said the flood “drowned some parts of Gashua town,” leaving hundreds of residents homeless. The flooding was caused by a heavy downpour that occurred in the area.
Our source added that nearly 200 houses were destroyed. He stated that property damage had not been estimated, but suggested that it would be substantial.
Our correspondent learnt that the torrential rainfall had also caused flooding problems in other parts of Yobe as well
