A social media user based in Edo has complained about the continous two weeks rainfall which has disturbed commercial activities and affected free movement of people in general.

Edo state under the leadership of Adams Oshiomhole has successfully joined Lagos with the disheartening incidents of flood caused by poor drainage systems.

In the words of the news poster:

"It is regrettably sad that when it rains in Benin you can't even go out for you normal business or activities anymore. Cars and houses are been submerged by flood and people lost their life daily all because of this. For the past 2 weeks it has been raining all day in the city"
