Speaking earlier to DAILY POST on the side of the NEDC event, the ADSEMA Executive Secretary, Mohammed Suleiman, said that after the state recorded 37 flood-related deaths last month, 11 more deaths have been uncovered, as bodies became exposed in formerly submerged communities where floods water has now receded.

He said, “Water has started receding in most of our communities and some displaced persons have started returning home. About three IDP camps remain open, mostly in Madagali. The IDPs are people whose houses were washed away by flood or destroyed beyond repair.

“The death toll has increased to 51. That’s the update. As water receded in some communities, we recovered some dead bodies. We have had to bring the Nigeria Police and traditional rulers to take note of such bodies and for us to bury them.”
