Lagos State has recorded the first rain of 2020 in the Akesan/Obadore area of the Igando/Ikotun Local Council Development Area.

Already residents of the area have expressed concern over the early rain, stressing that they may be in for another herculean year coping with flooding in the area.

A concerned resident of Ebute Kekere community, Alhaji Wale Isiaka said “we may be in for another hellish rainy season if nothing is done by the government to help us tar our streets or at least grade it and provide drainage for easy passage of rainwater.”
