Rainfall Washes Up 500 Copses From The Graves

It was a horrible sight at Jajeri Moslem Cemetery
in Maiduguri and Jere Council Area, when over 500 dead bodies were
washed up from their graves during a heavy rainfall in Borno State that
lasted for nearly two days. Over 10,000 residents were displaced and property worth millions of Naira destroyed.

Members of the affected areas have sent a letter to Governor Shettima to come to their aid.

Some
of the community members complained that previous complaint to the
governor on the devastating effect of flooding in the area due to our
proximity to River Gadambul nevere yielded result. “We hope this time
around the governor will listen to us.” said Mallam Bukar Maina, a
resident in the affected area

It
is miraculous that in spite of the heavy flooding that prevented
vehicle from moving, a woman Hajiya Asabe Umara in Bolori was able to
deliver a baby boy in our house.
