In a shocking turn of events, a relentless downpour has unleashed a trail of destruction in the Yobe region, leaving a harrowing aftermath in its wake. The powerful storm has claimed the lives of 3 individuals, while mercilessly reducing 50 houses to mere piles of debris, sending shockwaves through the community.

The once-peaceful streets of Yobe have been transformed into a scene of utter chaos, as residents grapple with the aftermath of this calamitous natural disaster.

At least three people were killed while 7 sustained injuries after a building collapsed due to heavy downpour in Nangere Local Government area of Yobe State.

It was gathered that over 50 houses were destroyed, rendering several families homeless.

“The Incident occurred on Friday around 9 AM when many residents were about to start their normal businesses.”

“At least 50 shops and houses were destroyed and the life of a seven year old boy was lost too.

“The officials of the Yobe State Emergency Management Agency have assessed the level of the damage and carried out validation exercises,” he said.

Another resident who identified herself as Halima said the torrential rain and heavy wind led to the killing of three persons and destroyed many properties.

“Over 50 houses were destroyed while 3 people including a seven year old boy, were killed in building collapse.”
