Residents Trapped In Their Houses As Flood Hit Estate In Abuja

Houses and vehicles have been submerged as a result of flash floods that hit Trademore Estate in Abuja.

Estate residents in Lugbe along Airport Road in the nation’s capital again experienced a flash flood as an early morning rain submerged houses and vehicles.

The rain which began around 9 am on Friday caused a traffic jam as residents were trapped in their houses.

Although no life was lost, the Chairman of the residents association, Mr Adewale Adenaike stated that the association was worried that the flash floods had become a regular occurrence within the estate.

The FCT Emergency Management Agency advised residents to avoid driving on flowing water whenever it rained.
