Zamfara

Heavy rainfall lasting several hours in Gusau, the capital of Zamfara State, has rendered many people homeless, as many houses reportedly collapsed. DAILY POST gathered that flooding in the Genge Maigemu area of Tudun Wada prevented people and vehicles from passing through.

It was also learned that many residents were seen removing their property from their homes as the rain destroyed valuable items. 'We couldn't sleep as the rain started very early, and we were busy packing some of the things we could save,' Mama Bilikisu said.

Another victim of the disaster, Salisu Ibrahim, lamented that the rain destroyed his house and property, stating that he now has to repair his house and replace his belongings despite economic hardship. However, some people blamed the destruction on carelessness, noting that many did not adhere to government building plans. 'Most of the houses were constructed on waterways, which causes problems and damages during the rainy season,' said Musa, an engineer.
