Speaking to LEADERSHIP one of the victims who is currently receiving treatment at Kafin Hausa General Hospital, Malam Salisu Garba aged 62, said the rainstorm destroyed the roof of his house which led to the collapse of some part of the house as a result of which he, his wife and five children sustained various degree of injuries.

 

“There was no death recorded in my house but two children were confirmed dead in my neighbour’s house as a result of the disaster,” he said.
The state government has sent a delegation led by special advisor to the state governor on community inclusion, Hamza Muhd Hadejia to sympathise with the victims.
