There was chaos in Zaria as a devastating flash flood caused by heavy rainfall wreaked havoc on several communities within the Local Government Area, displacing hundreds of families and destroying property worth millions of naira. According to an assessment by the Nigerian Red Cross Society, approximately 270 households, including 476 children, have been displaced and are in urgent need of assistance. The floodwaters affected at least 115 houses, rendering many families homeless and stranded. The flood disaster caused by an early morning downpour that began on Thursday affected the communities of Gangaren Mobil, Bayan Cinema in Tudun Wada Ward, as well as Magume, Bako Zuntu, and Kamacha in Tukur Tukur Ward. The rapid rise of water destroyed valuable belongings, including clothing, electronics, gadgets, and essential food supplies. A coordinated assessment team, led by Jamil Ahmad Mohammad Jaga of the Nigerian Red Cross Society, promptly visited the affected areas. The team, which included officials from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), the Director of Emergency and Security Services, and the Deputy Director of Welfare, later travelled to Kofar Kuyanbana to assess the full extent of the damage caused by the heavy rainfall. Despite widespread property destruction, authorities have confirmed that no lives were lost, a fact attributed to divine mercy. Meanwhile, the Nigerian Red Cross Society, Zaria Division, confirmed the incident and is leading efforts to provide immediate relief to those affected.
