In the span of less than two hours, heavy rainfall in parts of Ogun State and Lagos State, specifically along the Ifo-Ota road, resulted in severe flooding on Wednesday. This event led to the temporary suspension of business activities by market sellers.
Our correspondent reported that in Ogun State, the area from Ifo junction to Ifo Market, Iyana Ilogbo junction, and down to Ota experienced significant flooding, disrupting transit buses traveling to Lagos and Ogun-Abeokuta. Similarly, flooding caused havoc in Abule Egba and a portion of Alagbado. However, the Iyana Ipaja vicinity was spared from the impending flood as the rainfall only sprinkled in that area.
Local residents noted that Abule Egba has been prone to flooding with frequent occurrences and a lack of government support. The Wednesday flood caused disruption to bus routes, with Lagos transit buses contending with BRT lanes after the flood encroached on their designated routes.
