Following an hours-long downpour, hundreds of homes and commercial buildings in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba State, were flooded on Monday.

Following four hours of persistent, heavy rain that began at four in the morning, there was a flood.

The Mayo-Gwoi River, the Magami Bypass, and certain locations in the town’s suburbs were among the areas most heavily impacted by the flood.
