A severe flood has ravaged some communities in Oyo State, destroying properties and farmlands worth millions of naira. The affected communities are Ilu-Aje and Imini in the Afijio Local Government Area.
The flood caught residents off guard, causing significant damage to homes, farmlands, and other valuables.
Some victims have taken refuge in nearby communities, struggling to cope with the aftermath.
One of the victims, Àkeem Olatunbosun, expressed his shock and loss, stating, “The flood caught us unaware as it was never envisaged. We cannot quantify our losses which include farmland and other valuables.”
Olatunbosun appealed to the State Government to provide assistance to mitigate the effects on their families.
In his condolence message, the state Road Maintenance Agency, on Sunday, expressed its deepest condolences to the families, friends, and loved ones of those affected by the flood.
A statement by its Chairman, Busoye Ogunlade, acknowledged the devastating impact of this natural disaster on communities, homes, and livelihoods.
“My heart goes out to everyone affected by the devastating flood. May the love and support of family and friends bring comfort during this difficult time.”
Ogunlade assured them of agency’s commitment to speedily work on ways to provide necessary assistance to forestall further occurrence.
“May the affected individuals and families find strength during this challenging time,” he prayed.
