Some communities in Badagry Local Government Area, were on Tuesday sacked by flood due to the ongoing construction of drainage by the Lagos State Government. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the communities are Oropo, Yoyowe, Zogbakomeh and Sadoyon, all along Samuel Ekundayo Road in Badagry. Residents of the area abandoned their vehicles at home and waded through the flood to their different places of work, while motorcycles could not access the areas due to the flood. “The Lagos state government should accelerate work on the drainage and road leading to the communities because we are stranded by flood,” he said. He said that the water had started entering houses, adding that residents had been put under pressure because of the flood.
