Awogu said, “It was not clear the exact time the incident happened but family sources said that his lifeless body was found when one of them came to check on him and after calling his name repeatedly without response.

They sighted his cloth floating on the water inside his room and when the cloth was pulled up it turned out that his body was under the water,” he said.

Awogu advised those whose houses had been submerged to relocate to safe areas.

He stated that the situation in the local government had been a critical emergency and appealed to the state government and National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, to do more to save the people of area.

He said “It has gone beyond asking people to converge in a particular location.

“We need more of a community-based approach where community leaders, the President General will have more direct contact with victims everywhere including holding camps,” he said.
