Residents of Maiduguri town displaced by water from the Alau Dam are beginning to return to their homes as flood water recedes gradually.
The North-East Development Commission (NEDC) has begun an on-the-spot assessment of the destruction caused by flood ravaging parts of Borno.
Mr Shettima told the distraught victims that the government would support them with 50 trucks of rice.Â
The Chief of Defence (Training and Operations), Emeka Onumajuru, told journalists about the military’s operations across the country on Tuesday in Abuja.
Mr Umar attributed the flooding to the overflow and collapse of the Alau Dam in Konduga LGA.
The last time the dam had such a problem was in 1994, resulting in unprecedented flooding in Maiduguri when almost half of the town was flooded.Â
“We are in distress and afraid that more rainfall or release of excess water from the dam can spell more doom for us,” said a resident.
Several so-called repentant Boko Haram terrorists are backsliding because they are judged as being condemned to eternal damnation despite their contrition, says a former extremist.
This was announced in a statement by MNJTF spokesman Olaniyi Osoba on Thursday.
A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Usman Tar, said Mr Ali passed away on Monday and was buried by 5:00 p.m.
