Community lament as alo dam causes flood in the city in Maiduguri. Hope something is done immediately to curb the disaster.

Crocodile, snakes, dangerous animals take over, as flood ravages zoo, houses in Maiduguri

Following the devastating flood that swept through parts of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, crocodiles, snakes, and other dangerous animals have reportedly taken over the affected areas, particularly around the Post Office and Monday Market, located near Shehu Kyarimi Park (Zoo).

Vanguard gathered that several areas were submerged, including parts of the University of Maiduguri and its Teaching Hospital, Gwange, Moromoro, State Low-Cost, the 500 Abbagana Housing Estate, the popular Monday Market, Lagos Street, the NUJ Centre, and even the Government House.

The state government on Monday issued a high alert and closed down schools as the flood submerged several homes before the Alau Dam eventually collapsed on Tuesday morning.

After the dam filled up last week, the state Commissioner for Information and Internal Security, Usman Tar, called for the immediate evacuation of residents from the riverbank areas.

“Due to the unusually high volume of water this year, we urge all the residents living along the river bank to take immediate action to protect themselves and their properties.” Tar said.

The flooding has forced thousands of people to leave their homes and has destroyed property worth billions of naira.

As of press time, thousands of residents were seen evacuating their belongings to safer areas like Bulumkutu, Gomari Airport, and Tashan Baga, while victims have called for urgent government assistance.

The disaster comes at a time when Governor Babagana Zulum is out of the country, and his deputy, Umar Kadafur, is away on annual leave.

The Police Public Relations Officer for the Borno Command, ASP Kenneth Daso, has since urged the public to remain vigilant as the police and other relevant agencies work to safeguard lives and property during this critical time.

Tinubulation is also the reason you can't impregnate a woman.

People wey dey suffer insecurity, you come add wild animals to their woes
God abeg oooo

May God comfort them all.

Allahu Akbar

Maiduguri again,?

Maiduguri isn't an ocean/riverline situated state and drainage blockages can never cause this flooding...

Is the cause spiritual (where are the Bible scholars)?

This the real definition of "all man for himself"

Every "aboki with him kettle"

A pitiful situation 🤦

Mannabbgriller will soon visit there to hunt snakes and vultures for his demonic barbecue business

Those ppl in that area need to be very careful because of those wild animals that have escaped from the Zoo. I hope the authority will do the needful to capture those animals back and put them in the Zoo.

Hand go touch that Ostrich soon... Ostrich meat dey sweet.

Triple wahala for Maiduguri people.
Boko Haram
Tinubu
In an advanced and developed country, the president will quickly run there to assist the victims but here the druggie is no where to be found. Even the VP who is from the state is nowhere to be found.
These are the kind of leaders we have.

If Obi should go there, you will see them convulsing.

Tinubu is a very big CURSE to West Africa sincerely speaking.
