At Least 175 Dead In Nigeria After Devastating Flash Floods Unleashed By Torrential Rains | Mokwa

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.

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. #NigeriaFloods #MokwaFlood #FloodDisaster #NigerState #NigeriaEmergency #ClimateChange #FloodVictims #HumanitarianCrisis #NigeriaNews #BreakingNews #DisasterRelief #ClimateDisaster #TinubuResponse #EmergencyRescue #FloodDeathToll #AfricaClimateCrisis #WeatherCatastrophe #AgriculturalLoss #FloodedTowns #Nigeria2025 ~HT.318~ED.102~
