A shop owner at the Alekuwodo area, Abike Adewole, a cement dealer told newsmen that the rains started around 8 pm.
“I was in my shop when the rain started but I didn’t know it was going to be like this.

“The flood took over everywhere, it was God’s intervention that saved all of us here,” he said.

Residents of the area told journalists that the rest of being swept by the flood forced them to abandon their home as the level of the flood rises late in the night.

“The government, therefore, appeals to those who this sad incident has affected in any way to remain calm and await prompt and lasting solution in the overall interest of the state.
“Citizens are also advised to be vigilant in the wake of the season’s downpour of varying intensity, and desist from unsafe waste disposal which poses greater hazards to the environment.
