Flood Displaces Thousands in Maiduguri
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Several residents of Maiduguri in Borno State have been unsettled by flood following the collapse of water channels at the Alau Dam on Tuesday, September 10.

The flood sunk residential quarters, roads and bridges, making several areas in the metropolis inaccessible.

According to reports by NAN, the flood inundated strategic areas including parts of the Shehu of Borno Palace, Maiduguri Central Market and University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital.

The other areas badly hit included the GRA, Maiduguri Zoo, College of Nursing, College of Agriculture and School of Health Technology, among others.

Several residents were also seen moving out basic items to areas considered relatively safer, with some youths seen erecting sandbags to prevent water from entering their quarters.

At press time, the state government has yet to issue official figures of casualties, but it has directed for the closure of public and private schools for two weeks.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner for Information and Internal Security, Prof. Usman Tar, has advised residents to follow evacuation routes to ensure safety.
