Floods cut off Bauchi Highway, travelers stranded
Floods have again cut off the Azare-Ja’amare road along the Kano-Maiduguri Highway in Bauchi State.
State Governor, Bala Mohammed, while inspecting the area, said he has reported the situation to the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, who visited last week when the road was initially threatened.
The governor also warned that communities are at risk of being submerged if the flow of water is not managed effectively.
The incident occurred barely two weeks after a downpour severely damaged a federal highway connecting Kano to Maiduguri, especially between the Malori and Guskuri villages in the Katagum Local Government Area of Bauchi State.

The flood was said to have created a large crater in the middle of the road, forcing motorists to find alternative routes.
In the northeast geopolitical zone, Bauchi has been affected by flooding in the last weeks, with lives lost and thousands of houses destroyed.
