At least 151 killed after flash floods submerge Nigerian town
At least 151 people have died after heavy rainfall sparked severe flooding in Mokwa, a market town in north-central Nigeria. Ibrahim Audu Husseini, spokesman for the Niger state emergency agency, stated that more than 3,000 people have been displaced by the disaster in the town, situated more than 180 miles west of Nigeria's capital, Abuja. The flooding, triggered by heavy rainfall, affected at least 500 households across three communities early Friday. Husseini noted that the intense flooding left many homes submerged, with only roofs visible above the water, and residents wading through waist-deep water. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu said he has directed the activation of the national emergency response center to quickly assist the state. 'Search-and-rescue operations are ongoing, and all relevant federal agencies have been mobilized to support the state government's efforts,' Tinubu said in a late night message. 'Relief materials and temporary shelter assistance are being deployed without delay. We will ensure that no Nigerian affected by this disaster is left behind or unheard of.' Residents were mourning the dead on Saturday as some awaited news of their loved ones still unaccounted for. They also lamented the destruction caused in the town, a major meeting point where traders from the south buy beans, onions and other food from farmers in the north. 'We lost many lives, and the properties, our farm produce. Those that have their storage have lost it,' said resident Kazeem Muhammed. Nigeria is prone to flooding during the rainy season, which began in April. In 2022, Nigeria experienced its worst wave of floods in more than a decade which killed more than 600 people, displaced around 1.4 million and destroyed 440,000 hectares of farmland. The flooding incident in Niger state occurred on Wednesday night and continued into Thursday morning, Hussaini said, with a number of people still in the water.

Love Island star finally confirms feud with villa pal after months of rumours with telltale comment
The girls used to best friends following their villa stints FRENEMIES Love Island star finally confirms feud with villa pal after months of rumours with telltale comment Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island star Liberty Poole appears to have finally confirmed her feud with her former villa bestie Kaz Kamwi. Liberty and Kaz were famously best mates following their two stints together in the villa before appearing to drop off each other's radar. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Liberty Poole appears to have confirmed her feud with Kaz Kamwi Credit: Instagram / @libertypoolex 5 The girls are rumoured to have fallen out last year Credit: Instagram The girls had been on holiday together and even recorded their own podcast called Kaz & Lib. But shortly after Liberty and Kaz returned to the villa for spin-off show Love Island All Stars last year, they noticeably started snubbing each other online. Liberty, 25, has now seemingly admitted she no longer considers 30-year-old Kaz as a friend during a Q&A with fans. The reality star was asked by a follower on on TikTok: "Are you still friends with Kaz?" But rather than reply with a firm "yes", Liberty rather tellingly replied: "I will always have love for Kaz x." Liberty repeated herself with the identical response when someone else questioned: "Are you still friends with Kaz cause makes me sad don't see use together, I love the friendship use had [SIC]." She again replied: "I will always have love for Kaz x." Liberty's telltale comment comes just weeks after Kaz also appeared to confirm their fallout on her social media. In March, Kaz recorded a video for her own TikTok in which she spoke about why she had cut certain people out of her life. The reality star captioned the video: "Why aren't you friends with them anymore?" Love Island star Kaz confirms feud with former best friend and co-star as she takes swipe in savage TikTok Wearing a burgundy mini dress, she filmed a clip of herself miming to lyrics from track Bhad Bhabie by Ms. Whitman. "You dumb enough to think I'd tell you anything. I wouldn't tell you want colour socks I've got on," Kaz mimed. Kaz's fans were quick to speculate that the video was a direct swipe at Liberty. One commented on the TikTok: "Everyone is saying it's about Liberty." A second posted: "I was wondering why you two were never together no more." Other followers simply posted a Statue of Liberty emoji, hinting it's about her former Brummie pal. The girls first sparked rumours of a rift in April 2024. Fans had quickly noticed Liberty had deleted the link to their podcast show from her Instagram bio without explanation. She also shared a glam snap to her Instagram Story, writing: "For all the nice girls out there keep being you [heart emoji] nice doesn't mean boring it's just having morals while still being a boss love you." Liberty was later asked why she was never seen out with her Love Island pals - including Kaz - and she brushed it off, saying: "It's just every time events come up I've had a family thing, or I've been away or been with my friends from home. "They've had big things going on in their lives, obviously you guys know me, I always like to be there to support the people that mean the most to me. That's literally all it is." However, Liberty's response did not quash the whispers and rumours have continued to spread ever since. 5 Liberty and Kaz were best friends after starring in Love Island and Love Island All Stars Credit: ITV 5 They even recorded their own podcast show together Credit: Instagram
