The Cross River State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) says 347 people are displaced after mudslides and flash floods damage homes in the state. SEMA Director-General Efa Nyong tells journalists in Calabar that torrential rainfall triggers mudslides that ravage residential buildings, while flash floods sweep through affected communities.
Both reports describe the incident as occurring in August and link displacement directly to extreme weather. They also cite human activities alongside natural disasters as contributing factors to the damage and homelessness. Coverage focuses on the scale of displacement reported by SEMA, including the number of people made homeless, while providing similar accounts of the immediate causes—heavy rain leading to mudslides and flooding.
