Nigeria has issued a flood warning following Cameroon’s decision to release water from the Lagdo Dam. This action poses a significant risk to regions downstream, particularly affecting communities along the Benue River in Nigeria. The alert comes amidst concerns over the potential for widespread flooding, which could lead to displacement of residents and damage to property and agricultural lands. Authorities in Nigeria are taking measures to mitigate the impact and are urging those in vulnerable areas to take necessary precautions.
