Overflown River Niger destroys properties in Anambra 

 

 

Communities in Anambra state have been badly affected as the notable River Niger overflowed its banks.

A few months ago, the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, warned against a rise in water level of the River Niger and advised communities along the river to evacuate immediately to safer ground as there was a likelihood of the river to overflow its bank any moment.

This occurrence, however validates NEMA's previous forecast, bringing back to memory the 2012 flooding that wrecked many riverine communities of their properties.
