Basant Ahmed
The death toll from devastating floods in a trading town in Niger State in north-central Nigeria has risen to at least 200 people on Sunday, a local official said.
Heavy rains that fell before dawn last Thursday caused devastating floods in Mokwa, about 380 kilometers (240 miles) west of Abuja, a major commercial and transportation hub where farmers in northern Nigeria sell their products and other food to traders from the south.
Mokwa Local Government Deputy Chairman Moses Kimbuko confirmed the updated death toll to The Associated Press on Sunday.
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has directed the National Emergency Response Centre to accelerate the provision of aid to the state.
