“The displaced persons are not less than 400,000. Those that are living in various camps are more than 100,000.”

On Tuesday, thousands of residents fled their homes as flood ravaged Fori, Galtimari, Gwange, and Bulabulin areas of Maiduguri.

The flood occurred due to heavy downpour and collapse of the Alau Dam which has been at full capacity for the past week.

The Borno State government has opened up internally displaced persons (IDP) camps for victims across the state.

The incident has elicited widespread sympathy for the people of the state.

Manzo Ezekiel, NEMA spokesperson, said over 400,000 people were displaced by the flood.

Ezekiel said more than 100,000 people are currently in various IDP camps.

The NEMA spokesperson added that the agency is working with stakeholders to support the victims by safely returning them to their homes after the flood recedes.

Meanwhile, the North-East Development Commission (NEDC) has promised to collaborate with relevant government agencies to provide relief to those affected by the flood.

Mohammed Goni Alkali, NEDC Managing Director, and other members of the management team, visited the affected areas on Tuesday.

Alkali promised to provide temporary relief to victims pending full investigation and assessment of the situation.       (vitalnewsngr.com)
