Rage of River Niger: Edo communities cry out against ravaging flood

 

No fewer than three hundred persons in Etsako Central, Etsako East and Esan South East Local Government 


Councils of Edo State are presently counting their losses since the River Niger overflowed its banks. In the first instance, they were rendered homeless, while property worth over N1 billion were destroyed by the  rampaging flood.
It was a pitiable sight when newsmen visited the affected areas as parents, including the elderly, made frantic efforts to evacuate their children from the flood.
Some members of the community even climbed trees in order to avoid drowning in the flood. It was said that the people went to bed that fateful Monday, but at about 11pm flood over took their homes, forcing them to scramble for safety. The ravaging flood which has taken over 20 communities with a population of over 350,000 persons, destroyed virtually everything in the affected areas. Things destroyed  include buildings, house hold items and food crops in the farmland
