Flooding in southwest Nigeria kills 102 people

Flash flooding across Nigeria's southwest killed at least 102 people in the last week, the country's Red Cross said Wednesday.

The water also damaged three bridges in the area, trapping people in their neighborhoods, said Tunde Adebiyi, an official with Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency. -AP
