The Kano State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA, said on
Friday that the flood killed 26 people and destroyed over 1,000 houses in
four Local Government Areas of the state from April to date.
The Executive Secretary, Kano SEMA, Dr. Saleh Jili, confirmed the
figures in Kano.
Jili said that 50 other persons sustained injuries due to the flood and
windstorm.
According to him, the affected local government areas are Bunkure,
Minjibir, Tarauni and Doguwa.
He said that the Nigeria Meteorological Agency, NiMet, had earlier
predicted that there would be flooding in 25 local government areas of
the state this year.

sympathize with the victims on behalf of state government and
distributed relief materials to them to alleviate their suffering.
