In a recent disaster, heavy floods have overwhelmed the Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and the Maiduguri State Specialist Hospital, causing significant disruptions in the area.
The flooding, which has affected key facilities in the city, has left both hospitals under water, forcing medical services to a halt and putting patients in critical conditions at risk.
In addition to the hospital takeovers, a separate threat has emerged in Maiduguri as residents report that animals from the local zoo have started escaping due to the flooding.
The floodwaters have breached the zoo’s enclosures, allowing dangerous animals to roam freely in the city. Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant and stay indoors to avoid any encounters with escaped animals.
