One person has been confirmed dead, while about 600 people were displaced by a rainstorm that ravaged the Iloko-Ijesa community in the Oriade local government of Osun State.

“The assessment revealed extensive damage, including property destruction, loss of livelihoods, and one fatality. Over a thousand people were affected, and 600 displaced.”
