Nasarawa State Confirms Two Deaths from Flooding Disaster
The Nasarawa State Government confirmed the deaths of two individuals following severe flooding in the Doma Local Government Area. Dr. Nawani Aboki, the Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, provided this information during a briefing in Lafia.
The flooding has displaced hundreds of residents across over 18 communities, leading to significant destruction of buildings and farmlands. Dr. Aboki mentioned that the state Emergency Management Agency has visited the affected areas and is compiling a report for government action.
He personally visited the communities with the chairman of the Doma Local Government Area to express condolences to the families of the deceased. Furthermore, he cautioned displaced individuals against returning to lowland areas due to the uncertainty surrounding the potential release of water from the Lagdo Dam in Cameroon.
