PHOTOS: Residents Stranded As Flood Takes Over Lagos Communities

-


 

Many residents are reportedly stranded following about six-hour rainfall that submerged many houses in the Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos.


The rain which started around 6am on Tuesday most parts of the metropolis, took over streets and bridges.


The flood also impeded vehicular movement. The most affected communites include Abule-Egba, Command, Agege and Egbeda areas of Lagos.


Emergency responders from both the state and federal government agencies were on the ground to rescue the trapped victims.


Ibrahim Farinloye, Territorial Coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in the South West, confirmed the situation.


He advised residents of Command Area to take alternative routes, when going out, by avoiding Command and the near areas as flood has overrun the bridge in the neighbourhood.


“NEMA, fire service and police are working to get trapped people out of the area,” he added.

Ask any woman what her reaction is when the leaked tape isn’t even genuine – Taylor Swift, for example, who was “deepfaked” just a week ago by AI – and I can still predict in a moment what it would be: shock, horror, humiliation. Ask any woman, even one who has successfully litigated against online abuse – Georgia Harrison, say, who has spoken openly about her experience of revenge porn at the hands of her ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear, who was jailed as a result – and she’ll tell you: shock, horror, humiliation. Ask any woman who has an ex-partner to whom they’ve sent images of themselves, and who doesn’t know if they’re still out there, or if they’ve be
