Maiduguri Faces Devastating Floods, Half the City at Risk
By Francesca Hangeior
A severe flood disaster is threatening to submerge half of Maiduguri as rising waters continue to engulf several areas of the city. Panic and fear have gripped residents, as many are being forced to abandon their homes and seek safety.
Reports from Galtimari, one of the worst-hit neighborhoods, indicate that many people are now stranded on the rooftops of their homes, awaiting rescue as the floodwaters rise dangerously.
Authorities are urging residents in high-risk areas to evacuate immediately, but many are still trapped due to the swift and overwhelming surge of water.
Emergency response teams are being mobilized, but with the situation escalating quickly, the capacity to reach everyone in need remains uncertain.
The exact number of those affected is still being determined, but with significant portions of the city under threat, the disaster could worsen without swift intervention.

Adeyanju talks from both sides of his mouth -CRP slams activist
…last year he hailed Tinubu for appointing Wike
…as Rivers Gov, Adeyanju outlined his remarkable achievements
…and now he’s mocking Wike as being too old
Concerned Rivers People CRP has accused activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju as speaking from both sides of his mouth over his recent utterances on FCT minister, Nyesom Wike.
The group in a statement issued and signed by its Director of Communications Robinson Uke on Saturday, they asserted that the social media influencer talks from both sides of his mouth.
It recalled how in 2023 , Adeyanju took his social media and poured encomiums on president Bola Tinubu for appointing thoroughbred administrator as FCT minister.
Still going on memory lane, Wike as Rivers Governor, same Adeyanju hailed him(Wike) for embarking on massive rejuvenation of projects in the state using Largos as a yardstick.
Adeyanju did not stop there, barely three months after Wike’s emergence as FCT minister, he showered praises on him.
On PDP, same man (Adeyanju) heaped praises on Wike and Ortom as the bulwarks of the party and how Wike single handedly sustained the party from not kicking the bucket.
“If we may ask, what has changed that made Wike an aging personality suddenly after all these encomiums?
“Could it be that he didn’t get an expected favour from Wike? Or is all these activism just part of stomach infrastructure.
