More than 150 people are dead and at least 3,000 have lost their homes after torrential rainfall unleashed massive flooding in Nigeria.
Heavy pre-dawn showers lashed a market town on Friday, leaving roofs barely visible and residents waist-deep in water.
The rain affected at least 500 households across three communities in Mokwa, about 230 miles west of Nigeria’s capital Abuja, Niger state agency spokesman Ibrahim Audu Husseini said.
