At least 25 people were killed in flooding that hit the city of Ibadan in southwestern Nigeria over the weekend, the Nigerian Red Cross said Tuesday.
More victims could still be found in remote areas that rescue teams have not reached, the government's National Emergency Management Agency said in a statement released Monday.
Visiting the area, the agency's chief, Alhaji Muhammad Sidi, was shocked by the devastation and said the flooding was some of the worst the country had seen in recent times, the statement said.
The government is delivering aid to people displaced by the flooding in Ibadan and surrounding areas in Oyo state, the agency said.

My sympathy to the people of Nigeria.
*Let the hate-spewing begin*
Sssssss.... Tee Hee... Ssssss...
Wow, that's some moniker, Sam.
I pray God to give the family of the victims the heart to bear the lost.
Condolences to the families in Nigeria. Loss of life is rampant. Soon Jehovah God will "wipe out the tears from our eyes and death will be no more" Revelation 21:4
Right here on Earth the dead will be welcomed by during a resurrection (John 5:28,29, Acts 24:15)
Soon peace will reign over the whole planet (Psalms 37)
Prayers are with you as you endure the loss of your loved ones.
