The Bauchi-Kano federal highway has been cut off between Malamawar-Gangara and Babaldu communities after torrent of flood from heavy downpour.
LEADERSHIP reports that the flood halted traffic flow along the road forcing road users travelling to Kano and either way to divert to a longer route through Misau to Kano.
A resident of Malamawar-Gangara, Isa Usman told our correspondent that all forms of traffic have been suspended on the road for safety reasons.
“Before the flood cut off the road, it used to be a busy economic road linking Kano-Bauchi but it is now free from vehicles and travellers,” he said.
Similarly, another incident of flood also washed away the Azare-Isawa-Giade road in Giade local government area of Bauchi State.
The road served the agrarian communities of Katagum and Giade local government areas for decades, thereby, causing panic and bewilderment to road users plying for various socio-economic purposes.
It would be recalled that flooding also cut off the Kano-Maiduguri Expressway at the Maluri-Gaskuri community in the Katagum local government area of the state.
