 Adamawa State deputy governor, Kaletapwa George Farauta, visited the affected community to assess the situation and promised government’s intervention to cushion the impact of the flood.

 The flood was caused by the overflow of River Benue, which occurred due to heavy rainfall in the area and the release of water from the Lagdo Dam in Cameroon Republic.
