Residents of the Igbobini and Ilu Agbo in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State, over the weekend, appealed to the state government for assistance as flood wreaked havoc in their Communities.

The devastating flood was said to have been the aftermath of three days of heavy rainfall in the area.

It was gathered that the flood caused significant damage in both communities, forcing affected residents to seek refuge at a primary school in Ilu Agbo.

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.
