In a swift response to what he described as a “distressing tragedy,” President Tinubu vowed that the federal government would deliver a coordinated and compassionate relief effort to affected communities.

At least 100 lives were feared lost, with 75 bodies already recovered and buried. Over 100 persons remained unaccounted for, according to local authorities, as search-and-rescue operations continued in the submerged communities.
