With the unprecedented rainfall being experienced in the country leading to flooding in riverine communities, government at all levels has been urged to step up intervention to assist communities affected by such disasters.
One such community is Sabon Gida in Langtang South Local Government Area of Plateau State where residents woke up with their houses, farmlands, and properties almost submerged by rising water levels.

When ait.live visited the affected persons were seen when the waters receded salvaging what they could to enable them move to safer places.
The cause of the flooding is a dam in the area that broke its banks. The community members still counting their losses are however grateful to God that no life was lost. They appealed to government to come to their aid.
