Residents of the Igbobini and Ilu Agbo communities in Ese Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State have called on the state government to come to their aid as flood wreaked havoc in the communities.
It was gathered that the flood occurred following three days of downpour in the two communities, rendering the residents homeless.
A source said as a result of the incident, many of the residents of the affected communities were currently taking refuge at a primary school in one of the communities.
The source noted, “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, Ese-Odo Local Government Area, Mrs Sipasi Aluko, who was on assessment visit of the two communities appealed to both the state and federal governments to urgently come to the aid of the residents of the communities.
Aluko stated, “We want to enjoin all the concerned authorities and well-meaning Nigerians both within and away to render assistance in order to ameliorate the suffering of the affected residents.”
