Report on Maiduguri’s flood has shown that over 30 persons have lost their lives and over 1 million people displaced.
The devastating floods that hit Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, have reportedly resulted in at least 30 fatalities, according to officials on Wednesday.
The incident led to widespread flooding, affecting hundreds of homes and resulting in considerable destruction to various properties, including agricultural land, residential neighborhoods, and commercial establishments.
The unfortunate incident occurred after the Alau Dam collapsed, resulting in it overflowing and sending floodwaters from approximately 10 kilometers away into Maiduguri.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) spokesperson, Ezekiel Manzo, announced that the number of fatalities has reached 30.
Recall, the Vice-President of Nigeria, Senator Kashim Shettima, on behalf of President Bola Tinubu, has led a powerful delegate to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital to sympathize with the people.
