In northern Nigeria, deadly flooding has erupted following heavy predawn rainfall, resulting in at least 111 confirmed fatalities in Mokwa, with more expected as search efforts continue. The flooding has submerged entire neighborhoods and devastated local agriculture, leaving many residents to salvage personal property. With climate change intensifying weather patterns, community leaders emphasize that urgent flood-control infrastructure is necessary to prevent future disasters. Historical patterns indicate such severe flooding was not typical in the area, highlighting the unprecedented nature of recent weather events.
