A natural disaster has occurred at the famous Obudu Mountain Resort in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross
River State rendering over 20 persons stranded at the top of the mountain. The landslide which occurred early this week led
the Cross River State government swinging into action by contacting different
operation teams comprising of NEMA, SEMA and the Nigerian Air Force to evacuate
guests at the mountain top and villagers around the vicinity.
According to information from the Air force
headquarters in Calabar, the Cross River State Capital, the Chief of Air Staff
this morning directed that, Nigerian Air Force Augusta 109 from 305 Flying
Training School Enugu, Super Puma, and MI 24 helicopters from the base join the
evacuation exercise to speed up the rescue process.
It is expected that all stranded persons will
be successfully evacuated by the end of today as build up of thunderstorm at
the ranch aborted subsequent missions.
Meanwhile, the Cross River State government is
reassuring the general public that the Obudu Mountain Resort remains a safe
environment to regular and intending tourists.
