Many injured, houses destroyed by rainstorm in Bauchi

Scores of people were injured and over 300 houses and other property worth millions of naira destroyed during a rainstorm in Misau LGA of Bauchi State.

A victim, Malam Usman Abdullahi, told City & Crime that the rainstorm destroyed his house and washed away all his property on Sunday, but noted that, “I thank God that no life was lost during the disaster except two of my children that were injured.”

Another victim, Ibrahim Abubakar Yunusa, said, “Today (Sunday) we found ourselves in a rainstorm which wreaked havoc here in Misau. You can see how fences and houses have fallen, some houses have been destroyed completely, and we are in a difficult situation now. “We are appealing to the Bauchi State Government and well-to-do individuals to come to our aid, particularly with the present economic hardship, as many of the victims lost their food and means of livelihood during the disaster.’’
