Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Hundreds of people have been displaced after a downpour ravaged Shuwa, a suburb of Gulak, headquarters of Madagali, the home local government area of Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST gathered Thursday morning that the affected residents had to flee their homes as their houses were submerged by flood after hours of downpour on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

An eyewitness, Alhaji Musa Shuwa, said hundreds of people are now seeking shelter in a primary school.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe place for safety is the primary school in Shuwa, and it is now being partitioned for households and individuals to stay,\u201d Shuwa said.<\/p>\n

Expressing the worry that Gulak might itself experience flooding in the near future, Shuwa urged preventive measures from prominent people of the area, especially Governor Fintiri.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet the Governor use his office to save his people from this natural disaster,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

It could be recalled that barely two weeks ago, the bridge linking Shuwa with its environs collapsed, cutting off communities.<\/p>\n

Many had at the time cried to Governor Fintiri, following which the governor mobilised a contractor to do some remedial work.<\/p>\n
