An early morning downpour has reportedly killed a 3-year-old and destroyed about 100 hundred houses in Gombe State around Bajoga town of Funakaye Local Government Area.

The 3-year-old child died while his two-year-old sibling was critically injured.

It was gathered that the rain lasted for over five hours during the weekend and resulted in heavy flooding that led to the collapse of one of the walls of the room where the two children were sleeping in ‘Unguwar Fada,’ near the Emir’s Palace.

A resident of Bajoga, Yahaya Haruna, told newsmen that the rainfall started at around 5:30 am and lasted until about 11 am.

It confirmed that several people also got injured while over 100 houses, many livestock, and property worth millions of naira were destroyed, mostly in the Shara-Mansur and Bodoriyel areas of the town.

Those who sustained various degrees of injuries were receiving treatment at the General Hospital, Bajoga, and other medical facilities, according to reports.

Meanwhile, the remains of the deceased have since been buried according to Islamic rites, while his critically injured younger brother was rushed to the Federal Teaching Hospital (FTH), Gombe for treatment.
