Musa attributed the flooding to intense rainfall on the Mandara mountain, which led to erosion and damage to the Shuwa Bridge, as well as the destruction of homes, food supplies, and farmland.
He urged the federal and state governments and humanitarian organizations to provide immediate assistance to the affected areas.
The Village Head of Shuwa, Mustafa Mohammed Sanusi, characterized the event as “unfortunate and tragic” and called upon the government to take action and support distressed communities.
