Flood Renders Ondo Communities’ Residents Homeless

Residents of the Igbobini and Ilu Agbo Communities in Ese Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State have asked the state government to come to their rescue as flood has wreaked havoc in the communities.

It was gathered that the flood happened following three days of downpours in the two communities last week, which rendered the residents homeless.

As a result, many of the residents of the affected communities are currently taking refuge at a primary school in one of the communities.

A source said, “There are many residents of the two communities whose houses have been ravaged by the flood. Many of them are now taking refuge at the RCM Primary School Ilu Agbo. It is a serious matter”.

The Chairman of Ese-Odo Local Government, Mrs. Sipasi Aluko who was on assessment visit of the two communities urged both Ondo State and Federal Governments to urgently come to the aid of the residents of the communities.

Aluko said, “We want to enjoin all the concerned authorities and well-meaning Nigerians both within and far away places to render assistance in other to ameliorate the suffering of the affected residents.”
