The Borno State Police Command has alerted that a flash flood has caused extensive damage to the Ajeri-Dikwa road and the Dikwa-M/Guri road, leading to disruption of socio-economic activities just as it has also rendered critical routes impassable.

The statement stated that although no casualties have been reported, yet “the command remains dedicated to ensuring public safety and encourages the public to stay informed and monitor updates as the situation progresses.
“The following emergency contacts are available for distress: 0806 807 5581, 0802 347 3293,” it added.
