The chairperson of the state’s Red Cross society, Mustapha Allah-Dey, said that five bodies had washed ashore on the Niger River in Lokoja and been recovered.

The flooding was caused by the release of water from two dams in the northern state of Niger and one dam in the central Kwara state, according to Alice Ogedengbe, executive secretary of the State Emergency Management Agency.

She said the situation had been exacerbated by the release of water from Lagdo dam in neighbouring Cameroon. The flooding left homeless the residents of nine communities, who were being sheltered in 20 temporary camps.

A victim said to local media, "Besides the fear for floods, there is also the fear for animals displaced from their habitats: we have seen alligators, hippos and poisonous snakes."

In August, at least 30 people were killed in Plateau state, when floods said to be the worst in 50 years followed torrential rains. – Sapa-dpa
