Over 300 buildings in have been submerged in a flood that ravaged Mayo-Gwoi and Nukkai areas in Jalingo, the Taraba state capital on Saturday morning
The residents who said the flooding commenced, in the wake of a heavy downpour also attributed the flood to the release of water from Labdo dam in Cameroon.
No life has been reported lost but residents watched helplessly as business centres, vehicles, worship centres and schools were submerged by the flood.
Red cross officials have arrived the flooded areas to provide emergency help for affected residents.
Meanwhile, Chairman of Jalingo local government, Nasiru Boboji, appealed to the Federal Government to collaborate with Cameroon, in order to intimate residents whenever the Labdo dam will be opened to avoid such casualties
