Scores of persons have been trapped while many others were displaced from their homes by an unexpected flood that ravaged the entire Ikpide-Irri riverine community of Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State. The flood, SaharaReporters reliably gathered, destroyed properties as well as agricultural produce such as crops, yams, cassava, groundnuts, potatoes, vegetables and plantains among others worth several millions of naira as the water level continued to rise every second.

October 8, 2022On a visit to the community, SaharaReporters observed that the water, which gained entry into the entire community through the River Niger, damaged houses and properties.

The flood, SaharaReporters reliably gathered, destroyed properties as well as agricultural produce such as crops, yams, cassava, groundnuts, potatoes, vegetables and plantains among others worth several millions of naira as the water level continued to rise every second. Another indigene, who identified himself as Victor Idebesi, said,"This is the worst flood we have had since 2012 when we thought we had seen the worst. Churches, markets, and schools have all been taken over by flood water. Just few days everywhere in the entire community have been taken over by the flood. And water keeps on rushing from the River Niger into the community.

Water most take I course when the time arises

So sad ,and after they will still vote for the government that kept them in perpetual poverty

The flood is very serious here in Biseni community, Bayelsa state, that is the height in my building...

Same time the flood occurred has the results of human activities...

Although flood is a natural disaster but the pattern or ways of constructing buildings and road also play major part. Some buildings are on water channels, gutters are narrow and shallow still pack with debris .

All these are happening cus of govt irresponsibilities

Villages of oko Anala, oko ogbele, amakom are under water and no where to take refuge, the govt of delta state should visit this community and help evacuate them to a safer place.

Flood is a natural disaster that can happen to any country. One of the causes is over flow of the river or ocean due to too many rain fall. We shouldn’t blame the local, state, or federal for not putting a preventing measures because flood is something that can come suddenly

I learnt that Cameroun has released their dam once again this year hence the flooding, just on like the previous years that they reported same.
