Nigeria opened two gates at swollen in dams that sent the flood down to the neighboring Jigawa state that displaced 2 million people today (Friday). The flooding has washed away many farm villages in the area. More than 34 square miles of farmland have been washed away. Water in this area is released from the dams annually so this is nothing new to the area. However, this is more water than they are used to so officials are not sure if everyone was able to get out in time and far enough way.
