The Chairman, Flood Committee in Ogbaru Local Government Area, Anambra State, Chief Ogochukwu Nwasike, has disclosed that residents still trapped in the flooded communities are refusing to be lifted to the Internally Displaced Camps provided across the state.

“The water level is stabilising, it is no longer increasing at the monumental level as it was few days ago, although it has not started to recede; it is just stable.”

However, NEMA and the Disaster Response Unit of the Military have commenced aerial view of the flooded communities in the state. Tanimu said relief materials had been approved for the flood victims, adding that the relief materials would be presented directly to them on Tuesday.
