ABUJA nike air max 90 woven phantom pas cher , July 10 (Xinhua) -- A somber mood enveloped Suleja town located in a busy suburb in Nigeria's central state of Niger on Monday, following a devastating flood which wreaked havoc in the area on Sunday.

The embittered sexagenarian told Xinhua the house he built after retirement last year, using his life savings veste femme nike air max 90 vt noir , had collapsed as the flood swept through the area.
"I cannot find my grandchild, too," he said amid tears.

More than 10 bodies were still missing as of the time of filing this report, while an injured victim was receiving treatment at a local health facility.

"My entire house and many around me here are totally collapsed. There is nothing we can do.
Head of Suleja local district Abdullahi Maje told Xinhua the government was still assessing the extent of the damage so far caused by the flood.
"As the head of the local government, I will go back and sit down with my council members to see where we can render assistance to the community," Maje added.
An official of the Niger State Emergency Management Agency told Xinhua the flooding was caused by the release of water from a nearby dam.
