Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A heavy downpour has destroyed over fifty houses in Tudun Osi of Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the downpour started Wednesday afternoon when residents of Jos metropolis and environs were going about their daily activities.<\/p>\n

Residents whose houses were affected had to pack what was left of their belongings after the destruction by the flood.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST investigation revealed that the community has been experiencing the same incident of flooding with reports indicating many people lost their lives including their properties and homes.<\/p>\n

Reports said more than a hundred houses were affected by the flood with over fifty destroyed.<\/p>\n

The affected residents said apart from the buildings, the heavy downpour also destroyed their properties including clothes, food items among others.<\/p>\n

A victim who gave his name as Umar said the flood took the community surprise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have never expected it. It has destroyed my house and that of my neighbours.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy entire family has lost a lot. It was very a bad situation. If this has happened in the night, it would have been disastrous\u201d, he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank Allah that it happened during the daytime. We are calling on government and other spirited individuals to come to our aid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, narrating his ordeal, Ibrahim Hassan, said \u201cIt was a flood that put us in this situation. That is what Allah has permitted to happen to us.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no words to say than to seek Allah\u2019s help for what has happened to us. I have lost a lot to the incident. The fence of my house has fallen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the victims prayed that such a disaster does not happen again, calling on the government to help them with building materials to cushion the effect of the incident.<\/p>\n
