Yobe issues fresh flood alert to 9 LGs

The Yobe State Government has issued a fresh flood alert to nine LGAs, Nguru, Bade, Karasuwa, Jakusko, Yusufari, Geidam, Tarmuwa, Bursari, Machina, Gujba and Fune, due to the impending release of water from the Dadin Kowa and Lagdo dams.

The Executive Secretary of the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), Dr Mohammed Goje, who gave the warning in a statement on Tuesday, said that the release of water from the two dams would add to the predicaments of residents of the areas who were already affected by recent flooding triggered by torrential rains.

He said, “Yobe experienced significant flooding between April 15 and September 9, 2024, causing widespread devastation across several LGAs.
