Borno SEMA Debunks Viral Video, Issues Public Safety Advisory

The Borno State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) has debunked a video currently circulating on social media, clarifying that the footage is from a 2022 announcement and not a recent alert.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, July 24, 2025, the agency emphasized that it has not released any such warning in recent days.

The SEMA Director General, Ali Abdullahi, however, used the opportunity to advise residents living along riverbanks and waterways to remain vigilant and ensure public safety by removing any obstructions that could impede water flow or lead to flooding.

The agency reiterated its commitment to safeguarding lives and property and urged the public to rely only on verified information from official channels.
