According to prison officials on Sunday, 281 inmates were able to escape from a jail in Maiduguri, northeastern Nigeria, early last week when walls were destroyed by devastating floodwaters. According to a statement released by the Nigeria Correctional Services spokesperson, Umar Abubakar, seven of the escaped prisoners have been apprehended during security agency operations.

Authorities said on Wednesday that over a million people have been impacted by the severe floods that struck northeastern Nigeria, leaving 30 people de@d. Tuesday's big dam collapse in the state of Borno forced many locals to evacuate their homes and resulted in some of the worst floods the area has seen in thirty years. The state authorities stated the dam was at capacity due to abnormally high rains. The biggest flooding to hit Nigeria in ten years, which claimed over 600 lives nationwide, occurred over two years ago. A spokesman for the state police, Nahum Daso, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that around 15% of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, was under water. The number of fatalities is 30, according to National Emergency Management Agency spokesman Ezekiel Manzo on Wednesday. An assistant to the governor of Borno stated, "So far, one million people have been affected. As efforts to document displaced people begin, that number could rise to as high as two million." Maiduguri locals claimed that since the central market was devastated during the storm, food has become more expensive. Concerns about wildlife are still there since the local zoo was partially destroyed by water and some of the animals managed to escape.
