Farmlands were washed away and a section of the Kano-Maiduguri expressway was destroyed during the disaster.
The Bauchi State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), confirmed the disaster on Wednesday in Bauchi.
Mr Masud Aliyu, the Director-General of the agency, said the flood affected Shira, Giade and Katagum Local Government Areas of the state, following torrential rains in the past days.
“The flood left thousands homeless, submerged farmlands and cut-off roads,
“The affected roads Include Giade-Isawa, and Kano-Maiduguri expressway,” he said.
Aliyu said the state government had mobilised contractors to repair the failed sections of the roads, to provide an alternative route for road users.
He, therefore, urged the people to heed to the warnings by the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET) about impeding flood disaster.
