The Yobe State Emergency Management Agency (YOSEMA) has issued a caution alert regarding the collapse of a significant portion of the Bauchi-Damaturu-Maiduguri federal highway. The agency reported that a large section of the road was washed away near the Darazo exit, rendering the route impassable. Images from the scene revealed the road divided into two, with floodwater rushing underneath, forcing drivers to come to a halt.
As of September 27, 2026, YOSEMA stated that 27% of the Bauchi-Damaturu road had been cut off near the Darazo exit. The agency cautioned motorists using the Bauchi-Yobe-Maiduguri corridor and those traveling from Kano to Gombe to exercise extreme caution. They advised travelers to suspend journeys where possible and take appropriate safety measures.
YOSEMA urged road users to prioritize safety and await further updates on alternative routes and intervention efforts to restore the damaged section of the highway.
