Kaduna State Government through its Ministry of Environment and Emergency Management Agency (KASEMA) has warned residents living around flood prone areas across the state to urgently evacuate their homes.
“As the rains intensify, there’s a likelihood of flooding to occur”, the Agency hinted.
In 2018 , over 500 houses were submerged in flood and many residents were displaced in areas like Going Gora, Kamazo, Karatudu, kigo Road, Ungwar Rimi, Rafin Guza, Romi and Zaria among others, as a result of their refusal to heed to early warnings by emergency agencies.
The State Commissioner for Environment, Ibrahim Husseini, emphasized that the warnings are important in order to avoid a recurrence of such unfortunate incidents.
This comes days after several persons were killed in Niger State, after some communities were ravaged by flood.
Also, hundreds were displaced in Jigawa State after some communities were hit by flood.
