YAOUNDE –; A natural dam holding back a lake in Cameroon is on the verge of collapse, threatening to unleash a wall of water into neighbouring Nigeria and sweep away 10,000 people in its path, a scientist warned on Thursday.
He estimated that about 10,000 people in Cameroon and Nigeria would be drowned by a surge of 50 million cubic metres of water if the dam collapses.
Njilah said engineers from Cameroon and Nigeria should reinforce the damn and install a concrete spillway to drain excess water, as well as set up more tubes to release the carbon dioxide that has been collecting in the lake for centuries.
