On May 29, 2025, Mokwa in Niger State was hit by one of the deadliest floods in recent Nigerian history — over 200 lives were lost, 500 people reported missing, and more than 3,000 residents displaced.
But one month later, survivors are still crying for help. Many say they are homeless, hungry, and shortchanged in the distribution process some families received little to no aid, while others are still waiting for death benefits.
So, where did the billions go? And is the money enough to rebuild homes, restore livelihoods, and bring relief to the displaced?
