Flood triggered by incessant rain has destroyed over 3,000 farmlands and about 120 houses at Zugo town in Guri Local Government Area of Jigawa.
The Information Officer in the area, Sanusi Doro, told Newsmen in Guri on Thursday that the incident occurred in the late hours of Tuesday.
He said the flood had also washed away the Una-Zugobia road, hindering movement of people and farm produce to the market.
