Over the weekend, residents of Igbobini and Ilu Agbo in Ondo State’s Ese-Odo Local Government Area appealed to the state government for assistance as floods caused havoc in their towns.

The devastation was claimed to be the result of three days of torrential rain in the area.

According to reports, the flood caused severe damage in both settlements, prompting impacted inhabitants to take safety inside an Ilu Agbo primary school.

According to one of the residents, “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.”

Following the development, the Chairman of Ese-Odo Local Government, Mrs. Sipasi Aluko, visited the affected communities to assess the extent of the damage.

She appealed to both the state and federal governments to urgently come to the aid of the affected residents.
