At least three people have died after the Addallawa Dam overflowed, washing away part of the Dankama-Birnin Kuka Road in Katsina State.

Three bodies were later recovered from the floodwaters.

Two of the victims have been identified as 22-year-old Amadu Danladi and 23-year-old Amiru Dantsare, while the third remains unidentified.
