FLOOD SACKS HUNDREDS FROM IGBOGBO COMMUNITY, AS MONARCH, OTHERS AFFECTED. ...Appeals for urgent government intervention.

Hundreds of inhabitants of Igbogbo, Oreta, Offin, Bayeku, Lajo, Owode-Ibeshe, Agunfoye and Awesu communities in Igbogbo/Bayeku  LCDA of Lagos State have been rendered homeless by a flood that followed hours of heavy rains in the area on Sunday and Monday. The flood sacked hundreds residents and destroyed properties worth millions of naira.

A resident of Bayeku community, Mr Omotayo Oduala, attributed the flooding to lack of drainage system in the community. He therefore urged the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) to come to the rescue of the victims.

“It has become a regular occurrence at Akin Ogunlewe,  Banjoko and Macaulay spots of Bayeku road. We had expected that the relevant authorities would have opened up the drainage on the road for the water to have a channel.

“These areas are flood prone but this is the biggest flooding we have experienced in recent times. The flood  has sacked us from neither going out nor stay at home", Oduala said.

One of the victims from Lajo Community, Igbogbo, Mr Adekambi Muftau, said to MegaXpression Community News that over 500 houses were submerged. People are making frantic effort to save some of their properties. "We are urging the state and local governments to find a lasting solution to the problem," he added.

The residence of Igbogbo Monarch, HRM Oba AbdulSemiu Orimadegun Kasali, Adeboruwa of Igbogbo Kingdom, was said to be equally affected by flood, which led to damage of lots of things. 

Meanwhile, MegaXpression learnt that the House of Assembly member,  representing Ikorodu Constituency II, Hon. Nurudeen Sholaja-Saka and Chairman, Igbogbo/Bayeku LCDA, Bldr. Olusesan Mayokun Daini, have visited some of the affected areas in the LCDA for on the spot assessment of the damage and promised appropriate measures to be taking by government.

    Serious matter. Also Awobo estate beside the Igbogbo Bayeku LCDA also has its ugly share of the damage as almost all the access roads in the community are washed away. Please come to our aid.
