A man, a woman and her baby drowned when the River Yedzaram in the Michika area of Adamawa State in northeastern Nigeria burst its banks Sunday, according to DPA. Sani Moda, Vice-Chairman of the council area, said relatives of the man promptly claimed his body, while the mother and her baby were buried together. "Nobody showed up to identify the woman and her baby nor reported the case of missing relations," Moda said. Flooding this season has hit all the 16 wards of the council area, destroying about 100 houses, farmlands and roads. He said the council had forwarded its request for assistance to the state and Nigerian governments. Last Tuesday, five persons, including four children, were killed in floods near Minna, central Nigeria, after torrential rains lasting more than 15 hours.
