Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency has urged riverine communities along the Rivers Benue and Niger to relocate to higher ground following significant rises in water levels due to continuous rainfall.
In a statement its Acting Director General, Alhaji Umar Mohammed, warned residents near the riverbanks to evacuate, as water levels in the River Benue had reached critical points.
Makurdi, in particular, has recorded dangerously high-water levels, with Lokoja and other stations also nearing flood thresholds.
