TEC News! Gboko, Benue State | June 25, 2025.
Residents of Logo 2, a student-dominated community located opposite the Benue State University (BSU) College of Health gate along Gboko Road, were left stranded and distressed following a massive flood that hit the area after hours of heavy rainfall on Saturday, June 22, 2025.
According to residents, the rain began around 5:57 a.m. and continued relentlessly until approximately 10:59 am., submerging houses, streets, and drainage systems. The flood rendered the entire area inaccessible, echoing a similar incident that occurred in the same locality last year.
Images and videos shared by affected residents reveal flooded rooms, with occupants seen struggling to salvage their belongings amid rising water levels. One of the victims, identified only as Hannah, made a passionate appeal to the government and relevant authorities for urgent intervention.
“This flooding has become a recurring nightmare. The weather forecast for this season is alarming, and we are scared of what our area could become if nothing is done. We need proper drainage systems and preventive measures before it gets worse,” she said.
