Flooding in Edo Destroys Graves and Homes, Claims Life

In Edo State, heavy rainfall has led to severe flooding, resulting in the washing away of graves and the destruction of no fewer than 20 houses. The flooding has also claimed the life of a motorcyclist in Igarra, which is located within the Akoko Edo Local Government Area.

In response to the disaster, local government authorities have initiated interventions aimed at clearing drainage systems and removing refuse that has been deposited, exacerbating the flooding situation across the affected areas. The local government's actions are critical in addressing the immediate aftermath of the flooding and preventing future occurrences.
