Residents of Maiduguri are currently panicking over the flooding of Maiduguri Zoo, popularly referred to as Sanda Kyarimi Park located in the city centre.

Newsmen gathered that the park which is located close to a waterway is currently flooded by water

The flood which spread across major centres in the city started around 1 a.m. on Tuesday and has displaced many families living around Lagos Street, Modugari, Gwange, Monday Market, and a few other places.

One of the residents in Maiduguri, Kabiri Sani told our correspondent that the zoo was flooded this morning, and was sure that animals would escape.

“Early this morning, I left Wulari to Polo, while passing through the zoo area, with the water level I saw, I was shocked and I began to fear because I know the calibre of wild animals in that zoo,(sic)” he claimed.

Another resident residing in Gwange, Salamatu Mohammed said that she and her family have been displaced and are currently forced to leave the environment because of the news that the zoo was already flooded.

He said, “I left immediately I was able to rescue my properties and myself. I cannot stay in that area because I am sure that animals are currently outside.”

However, a circulating picture on Facebook shows an Ostrich that escaped from the zoo on the street in an area close to Borno ICAN’s office.

Meanwhile, efforts by our correspondent to reach the zoo authority proved abortive.

Reporters had reported that critical infrastructures including roads government offices, markets, and the palace of the Shehu of Borno are currently submerged by water.

APC finalises Kaduna Senate candidates as Shehu Sani, Katung, Yero get INEC clearance

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has completed the nomination of its senatorial candidates for Kaduna State ahead of the 2027 general elections, with former Senator Shehu Sani, Senator Sunday Marshall Katung and former Kaduna State Governor Mukhtar Yero receiving the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Form EC9.   According to Channels Television, the issuance of the statutory nomination forms marks the commencement of the party’s upload of Senate and House of Representatives candidates to INEC’s nomination portal after the National Working Committee approved the final list. The exercise, conducted in line with INEC’s nomination guidelines, also addressed candidate-related issues in Ondo, Benue, Kwara and Kogi states. In Kaduna Central, the presentation of Form EC9 to Shehu Sani ended speculation over a possible last-minute replacement of his candidacy. Although the former senator initially declined to comment, he later shared a photograph on his WhatsApp status showing Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani presenting him with the form. He captioned the image: “Officially the confirmed candidate, In Shaa Allah.” The development is seen by party members as confirmation of Shehu Sani’s position as the APC’s candidate for the Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 2027 elections. For Kaduna South, Senator Sunday Marshall Katung also received Form EC9, confirming his nomination for a second term in the Senate on the APC platform. His media aide, Midat Joseph, confirmed the development. Katung, who was elected to the Senate in 2023 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party before defecting to the APC, had attributed his decision to the infrastructure and development projects executed by the administrations of President Bola Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani. Former Kaduna State Governor Mukhtar Yero received Form EC9 as the APC’s candidate for Kaduna North Senatorial District, completing the party’s list of senatorial nominees in the state. With the issuance of the nomination forms, the APC has concluded the documentation process for its three Kaduna senatorial candidates, paving the way for their participation in the 2027 general elections, subject to INEC’s final nomination procedures.
