The rain, which lasted for many hours on Wednesday, resulted in severe flooding in various parts of the city, including Ibeju-Lekki, Ketu, Oworonshoki, Oshodi, Epe, Sangotedo, and Awoyaya, others.Mr. Rasheed Ayobami, a resident of the Labora area, said his house was submerged because of the lack of a functional drainage system in his neighborhood.“There is too much water flowing into my compound; the entire house is submerged.
Arowosaye called on the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government to clear the drains and urged residents to desist from dumping waste in the drainage systems to control flooding. Mrs. Bola Fadugba lamented the effects of the downpour and flooding in the Labora area: “I live in Labora, but during the rainy season, I relocate with my family to my younger sister’s house in the Eputu area. Flood has taken over my house due to lack of drainage in the environment.
