At least 150 killed after heavy flooding in Nigeria
Saturday, 31 May 2025 () Torrents of water that barrelled through a market town in Nigeria’s north-central state of Niger this week have now killed at least 151 people, officials said on Saturday.
At least 175 people have died and over 3,000 displaced after catastrophic floods submerged Mokwa, a major market town in Nigeria's Niger State. Triggered by predawn rains, the floods affected 500 households, leaving many rooftops submerged and people waist-deep in water. President Bola Tinubu has activated emergency response operations, vowing no victim will be abandoned. As climate change worsens Nigeria’s weather extremes, devastated residents mourn their dead and lost harvests. The town, a crucial agricultural hub, is now struggling to cope with trauma, loss, and rising humanitarian needs.
