A flash flood has swept through Akaeze community in Ivo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, displacing several families and destroying homes, farmlands and personal belongings.
The flooding occurred in the early hours of Wednesday, catching residents off guard as floodwaters inundated residential areas and agricultural fields.
The cause of the flooding has not been established, while local authorities said no fatalities have been recorded so far.
Community leaders and displaced residents have appealed to the Ebonyi State and Federal Governments for urgent humanitarian assistance, including temporary shelter and relief materials.
