Two persons were feared drowned as several parts of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, were flooded following a rainfall that lasted a few hours on Wednesday.
Some concerned persons retrieved the yet-to-be-identified victims and dropped them into a vehicle to convey them to the Adeoyo General Hospital, Ring Road.
The flood led to
gridlock in several parts of the metropolis, leaving cars, houses,
shops, stalls, offices, properties and bridges underwater.
There was gridlock in areas leading to Apata, Omi-Adio, Challenge, Molete, Oke Ado, and Sango, with people resorting to trekking home as there were fewer commercial vehicles on the road.
A lot of people had to stay back in safe places till the rain subsided before finding their way home.
END.
