The village head of Warwade, Alhaji Ado Musa, has disclosed that flood has washed away over 200 rice farms valued at N20 million in his community in Dutse local government area of Jigawa State.

Musa said that the incident was as a result of a heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding caused by tributaries of the dam in the area in the last few days.

“All the rice we planted in over 200 farms at the bank of the dam was destroyed because the dam was over filled with water.

“We lost rice of over N20 million because we planted on north, south, east and west sides of the dam and the water has submerged it all, and the fishes in the dam were feeding on the rice day in and day out,” he said.

The village head recalled that it was predicted that low rainfall would be recorded in 2015, and as a result, farmers decided to plant their rice close to the dam.
