Many communities have been cut off after Margai bridge which links Kebbe Local Government Area with other parts of Sokoto State, collapsed due to severe flooding.
It was gathered that a part of the bridge, which was built
during the tenure of Governor Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa, was washed away by the
ravaging flood on Tuesday, September 8.
The only alternative route for the inhabitants of the area
was that linking them with Jega Local Government Area of Kebbi State, which is
over 100 kilometres from Sokoto metropolis, Daily Trust reports.
Malam Anas Dukura, who hailed from Kebbe, expressed fear
that scores of students might miss the ongoing WAEC, unless something urgent is
done.
“Our people must reach Jega, through a rough route, and then
go to Aliero, another local government area in Kebbi State, before coming back
to Tambuwal,” he said.
Confirming the incidents, the Sole Administrator of the area, Lawali Marafa Fakku, said that 9 wards were affected by the incident.
