The downpour which wrecked inexplicable havocs in many parts of the town, lasted hours and affected many areas like Onireke, Obate, Awosuru, Sadiat, Testing Ground, Atimowa and others.
Mostly affected were the businessmen, churches, residential houses, owners of various shops like cement, flour, pharmacy, gas stations, bakeries, boutiques and provisions stores among others.
However, some residents were sacked by the heavy flood that heralded the downpour while those living around the river banks suffered losses that would forever remain un-obliterated in their memories.
A cement shop operator who identified himself as Adesola Adebisi while speaking with our reporter on the development hinted that he lost thousands of money to the disastrous incident and charged the state government to come to the aid of all the affected victims of the flood.
Also, a middle-aged man in the same business, Alhaji Agboola Owoniyi, said “the rain was too heavy that, we could not take anything from the shop.”
“The flood took over the upstairs where my cement was stored and the rain-affected some of the bags of cement worth about N400,000.”
While narrating her own ordeal, bags of rice and groundnut oil seller, Mrs Sangotolu Oyediran, told our reporter that, tears rolled out from her eyelids profusely when she saw the great effect of the torrential downpour.
She appealed to the state government to render assistance to them on the destruction of their properties.
Also, an electronics seller, Shola Mutiu, stated that he lost goods worth N5 million to the destruction.
