He explained,
“The disaster is not unconnected to torrential rainfalls which lasted over 15 hours across the state. Six corpses have been recovered while four others are still missing. The natural disaster led to the hospitalisation of three kids after a building collapsed on them in the town.”
He said his agency has sent out a distress call to National Emergency Agency and other humanitarian bodies, adding that an assessment team was detailed on Friday to visit affected communities to ascertain the level of damage caused by the flood.
