At least 30 people died and 400,000 others were displaced from their homes by this week’s devastating flood in Borno State.
The spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency ( NEMA), Ezekiel Manzo, disclosed this to journalists on Wednesday.
The flood which followed the collapse of the Alau Dam in Ngadda Rivers at the weekend forced residents to leave their homes in droves.
The state government on Tuesday warned the people of the state to beware of crocodiles, snakes and other deadly animals washed to communities by the flood.
Manzo said: “The death toll is 30.
The situation in Maiduguri is quite frightening.”
Another NEMA official, Zubaida Umar, added:
“The flood has taken over around 40 percent of the entire city. People have been forced out of their homes and are scattered everywhere.
“From our statistics, we have 414,000 displaced people.”
