A heavy downpour has severely split the highway linking Kano to Maiduguri in Bauchi State.
As seen in a viral video shared on X, the Kano-Maiduguri highway split in two under the pressure of the torrent flood that emerged as a result of the heavy downpour.
The double-lane road network was serrated between Malori and Guskuri villages in the Katagum Local Government Area of Bauchi state.
Villagers could be seen at both ends of the severed road as they watched the damaged caused by the flood.
Reacting, to the incident, Bauchi State Governor, Bala Muhammed, called for the intervention of the Federal Government in repairing the road.
“It is our responsibility to convey this development to Abuja. If they give us permission and are unable to do it, definitely we will swing into action and make sure we carry immediate measures.” He said
