Flash floods from River Niger have submerged over 70 communities and displaced over 50,000 people displaced from their houses in different parts of Kogi.
Residents of some of the communities have been experiencing flooding for over five days now.

Flood: President Buhari to review loan burden on Kebbi farmers
Area such Kotonkarfe and Ibaji have been amongst the worst hit as thousands have been displaced from their homes.
Many have lost their farmland, houses and livestock to the flood disaster.
I therefore call on the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the Kogi State government to come to the aid of the people who are now in miserable condition having lost their means of livelihood.
