A devastating flash flood has severely damaged the Ajiri-Dikwa and Dikwa-Maiduguri roads in Borno State, disrupting the movement of commuters and travelers, including those from neighboring countries like Cameroon and Chad.
The affected area, known as Bakassi, is located along the Maiduguri-Dikwa Road, about 5 kilometers 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.
This development comes weeks after floods washed away sections of the Madagali/Gwoza and Maiduguri/Damboa roads, further compounding the state’s transport challenges.
In response, the Borno State Police Command has advised travelers to seek alternative routes and stay updated on the situation.
