Duhu told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that several hectares of farmlands had also been destroyed by floods in Mayo-Wandi and Kirchinga Villages, following a heavy down pour on Thursday.
He said that the rain which lasted for about six hours caused the Kwasagama River to burst its banks, submerging houses and farmlands.
Duhu said that the flood destroyed maize, millet and sorghum plantations and washed away part of the Shuwa-Kwirchinga-Tzuyal access road.
He said that most of the displaced families are now residing with their relatives in the area.
The sole administrator said that the development area would monitor the villages, to ascertain the extent of damages and how to support victims.
Duhu called on the National Emergency Management Agency and the State Government to come to the aid of the victims.
Malam Isa Maidawa, one of the displaced persons told NAN that he lost his house and other belongings to the flood. (NAN)
