No fewer than two persons have reportedly died after the collapse of a bridge in Adamawa State due to flooding caused by heavy rainfall.
Local residents say that the collapse of the Wuro Gayandi Bridge connecting Michika and Madagali Local Government Areas of the state has led to difficulty in movement for residents.
Moses Timothy, one of residents, told reporters in a telephone chat that, “It was torrential rainfall that caused the flood to destroy the bridge, leaving our people stranded.
“The disaster drowned two persons and a vehicle. We do not know how to recover the bodies of the victims. We call for urgent action from the government.”
In the meantime efforts to speak to police spokesman DSP Suleiman Yahya Nguroje proved abortive as he was said to be in meeting as at the time filing this report.
