A devastating flood has hit Hong Town in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State this afternoon, destroying houses, damaging properties, and cutting off key access routes.
The incident occurred just minutes ago following intense rainfall, with Anguwan Gada reported as the hardest-hit area. Residents say floodwaters have made movement impossible in and out of the community, leaving many stranded.
Emergency responders and local volunteers are working to assist affected households, while the scale of destruction is still being assessed. Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri is expected to receive urgent situation reports as the state government mobilizes support.
Authorities are urging residents in low-lying areas to move to higher ground and to remain alert for further updates.
