The Bauchi State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), has confirmed four persons dead in recent flood disaster in the state.<\/p>\n

The flood also destroyed houses, submerged farmlands and washed away some sections of the Kano-Maiduguri expressway.<\/p>\n

Mr Masud Aliyu, the Director-General of the agency, confirmed this on Wednesday in Bauchi.<\/p>\n

He said the flood affected Shira, Giade and Katagum Local Government Areas of the state, following torrential rains in the past days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe flood left thousands homeless, submerged farmlands and cut-off roads,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe affected roads Include Giade-Isawa, and Kano-Maiduguri expressway,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Aliyu said the state government had mobilised contractors to repair the failed sections of the roads, to provide an alternative route for road users.<\/p>\n

He, therefore, urged the people to heed to the warnings by the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET) about impeding flood disaster.<\/p>\n
