A flood caused by heavy downpour and whirlwind on Thursday morning destroyed some houses at Kundila Housing Estate opposite the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital in Kano State.
The rain, which lasted about three hours, also submerged several other houses located within the metropolis, causing an unquantifiable level of destruction, estimated at over N60 million.
A resident of the Estate, Mustapha Haruna, said the downpour imposed untold hardship on the residents, particularly those whose houses were completely submerged, many of whom were only able to rescue some of their property, like television sets, bed and beddings and jewellery.
Kundila Housing Estate is situated within a major drainage, which channels water from Government House, Tarauni, and Hotoro to a wider drainage which rushes freely on both sides of Zaria Road.
