Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A heavy downpour in Gusau, the capital of Zamfara State, has once again disrupted commercial activities for residents, preventing traders, workers, and students from moving around.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the heavy rain, which began in the early hours of Friday, lasted for several hours, leading to serious flooding on several roads and affecting many farmlands.<\/p>\n

Many people were seen bailing water out of their houses, as the floods hindered movement of both people and vehicles.<\/p>\n

Traders in Gusau could not open their shops as usual due to the impact of the heavy downpour, and students were unable to attend school.<\/p>\n

However, the state government has yet to issue a statement regarding the recent flooding in Gusau. People have previously been cautioned to avoid building houses in waterways.<\/p>\n

It could be recalled that three days ago, heavy rainfall caused flooding that destroyed numerous properties and blocked roads, especially in the Gengeri Maigemu area of Gusau.<\/p>\n
