Two children were feared dead and several others hospitalised after a heavy downpour triggered building collapses and flooding in Gandun Sarki community, Malam Madori Local Government Area of Jigawa State.
The downpour, which lasted for more than an hour last Thursday night, ripped through parts of Hadejia Senatorial District, leaving a trail of destruction across homes and farmlands.
Reports gathered from the area indicated that more than 20 houses collapsed during the rain.
It added that several other homes were either submerged by floodwaters or surrounded by them, forcing families to flee.
