Bauchi State, it would appear, is still battling to come to terms with the lives lost and property destroyed during recent flood incidents in the state.
.
Many residents of the state, especially those living in the rural areas were forced to abandon their homes to seek refuge elsewhere, even in unpleasant places.
.
Precisely on August 15, 2013, there was a heavy downpour that lasted for several hours in the state.
.
The resultant flood affected several households as many buildings collapsed and properties were destroyed.
.
The talking point for now is the confirmation by the State Management Agency, SEMA, that the flood resulting from the heavy downpour early this month claimed the lives of a nine-year-old girl and three women.
.
SEMA Chairman, Alhaji Mohammed Inuwa Bello, who visited the affected areas in the state said farmlands and houses worth N76 million were destroyed and the worst affected in Bauchi are Alkaleri,Zaki and Bogoro local government areas.
