A devastating flood from a failed Alau Dam in Borno State has wrecked unprecedented havoc on Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, and neighbouring villages.
The scale of devastation hasn’t been seen in thirty years Authorities say, adding the dam failed due to heavy rain.
The flooding has spiked humanitarian crises with millions of people now rendered homeless. Public and private properties worth billions have been reduced to rubbles.
Hospitals, schools, homes, streets, and other facilities are currently submerged crippling economic activities as people scamper for safety and try to salvage some belongings.
Humanitarian support has been activated but it has paled into the quantum of devastation.
