Three persons have died in Mararaba, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State following Wednesday rainfall.
Houses and property estimated at several millions of naira were also destroyed. Residents, motorcyclists and commuters have called on Governor Tanko Al-Makura to begin repair work on rural roads and collapsed bridges to alleviate their suffering.
They lamented the deaths, saying: “The repair of the roads, collapsed bridges and culverts would avert tragedy and assist in transporting farm produce to the market.”
Chairman of the Calvary Road Residents Development Association, Kabayi, Leonard Ogu, said the bad roads and other amenities have continued to affect them though they have been rebuilding repairs and others through communal efforts.
