About five months after the unfortunate death of father of two, Mr. Oladiti Moses Alo , who was a victim of the September 18, 2019 flood disaster in the city of Ibadan, the widow , Sarah, who has been virtually abandoned with her two children, is still grappling with the rippling effects of the loss of her beloved husband, and breadwinner. Writhing with pains, she said life has not been the same since the sudden death of her caring husband.
However, the narrative changed with the tragic flood that occurred during a torrential down pour in the city last year, terminating the life of the breadwinner. He was said to have died a hero. After rescuing a woman who was trapped in the surging flood, he fell victim; he lost his stamina to the flood, which swept him away.
“All the roads were flooded. So, it was difficult for many to pass. When I got home, I did not meet my husband at home. There was no light; so everywhere was dark and it was not easy to go out. I was worried about my husband’s fate but I was hoping that he would still show up. I felt he might be waiting for the rain to subside before coming home. But, throughout that night, he did not come home.
Many areas of the city were flooded in the September 18, 2019 torrential down pour. Scores of people were trapped Was bridges and culverts were rendered impassable by the surging flood A lot of roads, bridges, and culverts were damaged , while some people lost their personal belongings. However, the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources , Hon. Kehinde Ayoola, who spoke with The Nation on the flood disaster, admitted that there were damages to bridges, culverts and roads by the flashes of flood , but claimed he did not receive the report of any missing person.
