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.
