Flood displaces 1,200, ravages 400 houses in Plateau, Kano.
The Head, Emergency Response Team of the community, Mr Al’Amin Yakubu, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Jos.
Yakubu said though no life was lost, the flood destroyed and washed away valuables.
“The flood didn’t claim lives, but because it was huge, it displaced over 200 households, that is about 1, 200 people.
“These households have lost all their properties and are left with nothing,” he said.
He said the displaced persons were currently staying with neighbours, as no camp had been put in place for them.
Yakubu described the condition of the displaced persons as pathetic, adding that access to food, shelter and clothing had become a serious challenge for them.
