Lagos faces unprecedented flooding as heavy rain submerges both mainland and island areas, causing severe traffic disruptions and safety concerns.
In a surprising turn, widespread flooding has engulfed not just Lagos Island but also parts of the Lagos mainland, sparking alarm and severe traffic jams. Videos circulating online show submerged roads near Iyana-Oworo and Olopo Meji, causing significant disruption up to the 3rd Mainland Bridge.
Experts attribute the flash floods to intense and prolonged rainfall combined with high tidal levels in the lagoon. Concerned citizens are urged to exercise caution, with expectations that the waters will recede within the next couple of hours as tidal levels subside.
