A devastating flood from a downpour has hit Dugwaba District in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
This comes less than two weeks after a similar disaster ravaged part of Yola, the state capital.
The flood in Yola claimed 29 lives, according to an update given on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, by the state Deputy Governor, Professor Kaletapwa Farauta.
The latest flood wreaked havoc across Dugwaba and neighbouring communities after what sources described as relentless heavy rainfall.
Reports on Wednesday evening indicated that the flood severed critical links between Dugwaba and surrounding settlements, and as far out as neighbouring Yadul District, submerging houses and washing away farmlands.
The disaster prompted the District Head of Dugwaba, Simon Buba Yakubu, to issue an urgent plea for intervention to assist those directly affected and now struggling to access their homes.
By late Wednesday, indications were that major roads connecting Garaha, Mojili, and other surrounding settlements had been rendered impassable.
No indication of human casualties has yet been reported.
