Residents of some Bayelsa State communities affected by the rampaging flood have called on the state government to find a lasting solution to the menace.
A victim, who identified herself as Perez Ayebanua said the flood waters, which came to their houses late last month are already taking a toll on inhabitants with reptiles also competing with them for space.
The residents complained that they are frustrated over the situation, calling on the Bayelsa and Federal Governments to come to their aid as they suffer the impact of the catastrophe.
