Ogun State Urges Flood-Prone Residents to Relocate Immediately
The Ogun State Government has urged residents in flood-prone areas to relocate immediately, reiterating a warning from four months ago. Recent water releases from the Oyan Dam have impacted communities like Isheri and OPIC Estate.
Commissioner for Environment Ola Oresanya emphasized the necessity of these releases to prevent further damage due to the area’s low elevation and tidal fluctuations. He reassured residents that floodwaters are expected to recede significantly starting October 25, thanks to existing drainage systems. The government is also working with Lagos State and the Federal Government to find long-term solutions to flooding issues.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
