The resultant flood displaced some residents of Eket in Edem Udo, Grace Bill, Marina Junction, Udoh Umoh, Stadium road, Ikot Udoma, Idua road
The flood which was as a result of the persistent rainfall and bad drainage system in the area, destroyed over 100 houses and displaced 300 persons.
“Speaking to you now, I have lost most of my belongings especially books, electronics, beddings, laptop and other personal belongings,” Mr Mark said. Mr Mark urged the state and local governments to come to their aid, saying that flood was one of the greatest challenges faced by residents in the area.
He appealed to the state government to construct drainage in the area to save residents from the perennial annual flood. “The bad drainage system is the main reason for this flooding. There is nowhere for the water to go through, that is why the roads are flooded.
