It was also gathered that farmland, cash crops, schools, churches, markets, cultivated farmland, fishing facilities, interconnecting access routes, and other sources of life in the communities are also drowned in the flood.
The traditional ruler of the Abacheke community, HRH Eze Ikeji Ifeanyi Bright, blamed the flood on the recent heavy downpour and the overflow of the banks of the River Niger tributaries.
