Flood destroys 300 houses in Buhari’s hometown
Abba Mato, the Acting Chairman of Daura Local Government Area, who spoke on the flood disaster, described this year’s destruction as “one of the worst ever witnessed in the area”.
He listed areas worst hit to include Kusugu, Sabongari, Sarkin Yara and Mazoji areas of Daura metropolis. “The floods followed rain showers that lasted for about 24 hours, beginning from Tuesday night to Wednesday,” he told NAN.Mr Mato said the floods had affected houses, shops and farmlands, adding, however, that most of the affected buildings were erected on flood-prone areas.
Meanwhile, some of the families that were displaced by the floods have appealed to the Federal Government and the Katsina State Emergency Management Agency to assist them so as to minimise the effect of the disaster on their families. They also appealed to the Katsina State Government to construct drainage in areas that were prone to flooding.
