A bridge in the area was said to have also collapsed, leaving a vehicle trapped inside the canal.<\/p>\n

As of Sunday morning, Those affected by the flood are still draining water out of their houses, even as tenants contemplate relocating to safer places.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the collapsed bridge, an indigene of Ilaro, Gbenga Ekunola, said he had presented the matter to the Senator Representing Ogun West, Olamilekan Adeola.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Adeola immediately called his team to go to the said spot to assess the situation for immediate intervention,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that the government has consistently listed Ilaro as one of the areas that could be flooded, with warnings that those in flood-prone areas should relocate.<\/p>\n

Poly Rector asks students, staff to relocate<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Rector of the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro, Dr Mukail Aremu has asked staff and students of the Institution to stay away from flood-prone areas.<\/p>\n

Aremu gave the warning during an on-the-spot assessment of students-populated areas after the Friday and Saturday downpour.<\/p>\n

While commiserating with those who lost valuables to the incident, the Rector charged the students to stop seeking accommodation in areas prone to flooding, such as Riverside, adding that \u201cthose who are presently in such areas should relocate to safer places.\u201d<\/p>\n
