Flood kills three, destroys houses in Kaduna
Godwin Isenyo, Kaduna
Some communities in Kudan Local Government Area of Kaduna State have been flooded, leading to the death of three and destruction of houses.
The flood occurred following the downpour in the affected communities through Thursday to Friday.
Some of the affected communities include Hunkuyi, Likoro and Kudan.
Several residents of the communities were rendered homeless just as many houses were submerged.
The Executive Secretary of the State Emergency Management Agency, Abubakar Hassan, confirmed the incident.
Hassan, who visited the affected communities, attributed the incident to “residents building houses along waterways and near river banks.”
The agency had on Thursday warned residents living in flood prone areas to relocate to other parts of the state.
