Flood: Borno govt opens relief camps for victims

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) says the Borno State government has opened various camps to accommodate thousands of people currently stranded on the streets of Maiduguri due to flooding.

In a chat with Daily Trust on Tuesday, Surajo Garba, NEMA’s Zonal Acting Coordinator for the North East Zone, attributed the incident to torrential rainfall and collapse of Alao Dam.

Garba warned residents of riverine areas to vacate their homes immediately.

“The flood has affected over 50 locations like Kalari, Budum, Millionaire’s quarters, part of GRA, Allamin Dagash, Gwange, Bulabulin, and host of other areas.”
