The Jigawa State Government said 50 persons have died as a result of flooding, with many others displaced.
The Executive Secretary of the State Emergency Management Agency, Sani Yusuf, made the disclosure on Sunday.
Yusuf, who spoke with newsmen in Dutse, said the flood destroyed thousands of houses.
He said the situation had forced many Jigawa State residents to take refuge in other places, including government buildings.
He said: “We have so many displaced persons in about 11 temporary camps.
“In Balangu alone, 237 houses have been damaged and the occupants are now living in a temporary camp.
“Four people also died in that same village, after the six in Kafin Hausa.
“So, when you go around the state, we lost about 50 people to the flood now.
“Even yesterday (Saturday), seven people from the same family died.”
