VIDEO: Shettima visits Borno, vows to tackle flood disaster head-on 

Vice President Kashim Shettima visited the flooded palace of the Shehu of Borno on Tuesday to assess the impact of the recent floods.

The floods, the worst in recent times, have displaced thousands and severely affected critical facilities like the Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, government house, and post office.

The flooding, caused by the collapse of the Alau Dam and excess water from the spillways, has affected Maiduguri and surrounding towns, submerging several neighbourhoods, including the Emir’s palace, underwater.

Wild animals from the state zoo, including snakes, crocodiles, and ostriches, are now roaming the streets.

The hardest-hit areas are Fori, Galtimari, Gwange, and Bulabulin, where homes have been swept away and streets have become rivers.

Shettima is the immediate past governor of Borno State
