The flood, SaharaReporters reliably gathered, destroyed properties as well as agricultural produce such as crops, yams, cassava, groundnuts, potatoes, vegetables and plantains among others worth several millions of naira as the water level continued to rise every second.

Another indigene, who identified himself as Victor Idebesi, said,"This is the worst flood we have had since 2012 when we thought we had seen the worst. Churches, markets, and schools have all been taken over by flood water. Just few days everywhere in the entire community have been taken over by the flood. And water keeps on rushing from the River Niger into the community.
