The operators of the Lagdo Dam in the Republic of Cameroon have opened the dam to allow excess water to flow.
With the recent rainfall in Nigeria, combined with the dam’s opening, over 100,000 Nigerians have been displaced, at least 300 have been killed, and over 500,000 have been affected in the last few months.
Data released on Monday in Abuja by the National Emergency Management Agency and the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency at an emergency technical meeting on the country’s flood situation revealed this.
