1 / 4

On the evening of June 10, 2026, Birnin Kebbi was hit by a massive haboob dust storm. A towering orange wall of sand swept across streets and public areas around 6pm. Onlookers on a local football pitch watched in awe as the storm rapidly approached. Many residents sought shelter indoors and offered prayers for safety as visibility dropped to nearly zero. Witnesses captured dramatic photos and videos showing the cloud of dust rolling over lampposts and homes before engulfing the city.

Next time a haboob forms around sunset, carrying a sturdy face mask and goggles could help avoid breathing issues and protect your eyes from flying dust.
