The death toll from devastating floods in Adamawa State has risen to 25 victims, with several others reported missing, Governor Fintiri confirmed during a state visitation to affected communities.
Emergency teams are conducting search and rescue operations as thousands remain displaced following heavy rainfall that caused flash floods across multiple local government areas.
The flooding event reflects the broader risks facing Nigeria during this rainy season, which has seen widespread inundation across more than 30 states.
Governor Fintiri urged residents of Adamawa to exercise caution, issued evacuation advisories, and committed state resources to aid relief efforts. Authorities continue to monitor weather patterns and mobilize support for affected populations.
