Dam collapse in Nigeria sweeps deadly reptiles into flooded communities

The collapse of the Alau dam in Borno state, northeastern Nigeria, has led to severe flooding, evacuations, and released deadly reptiles into communities. Heavy rains caused the dam to overflow, submerging parts of Maiduguri. This disaster adds to the ongoing humanitarian crisis fueled by Boko Haram insurgency. Schools are closed for two weeks as a precaution.
