Maiduguri, the capital city of Borno State, is currently experiencing a devastating flood of unprecedented proportions, reminiscent of the 1994 deluge.
The disaster has forced hundreds of families to seek refuge outdoors, with many seen scrambling to salvage their belongings.
Neighbourhoods along the riverbanks have been severely affected, with residents unable to access their homes due to the raging floodwaters. The situation has left many without shelter, food, or basic necessities.
The flood has caused widespread destruction, with properties and infrastructure severely damaged. Authorities have yet to provide an official tally of the affected population, but eyewitnesses describe the scene as catastrophic.
