Heavy Flood Cuts Borno off from Neighboring Countries.

Yet another heavy flood has severely damaged the Ajiri-Dikwa and Dikwa-Maiduguri roads in Borno State, obstructing commuters, including foreigners from neighbouring countries.

This is coming barely weeks after floods washed away sections of the Madagali/Gwoza and Maiduguri/Damboa roads, further compounding the state’s transport challenges.

The area affected, known as Bakassi, is located along the Maiduguri-Dikwa Road, about 5 kilometres from Dikwa Town in Mafa Local Government Area.

The floods have rendered significant portions of these roads impassable, affecting travel to and from communities such as Mafa, Dikwa, Ngala, Marte, Kala Balge and Maiduguri.

These roads are also critical international links, connecting Nigeria to Cameroon and Chad.

The Borno State Police Command responded, advising travellers to seek alternative routes and stay updated on the situation.

The state capital also witnessed a devastating flood on September 10, when the Alau Dam collapsed, killing many people and destroying property.
