Residents of the Lekki-Victoria Island-Ajah axis of Lagos state, have expressed fears that they may lose their homes to the extensive flood that has ravaged the area.
It was gathered that most of the major roads and even streets located at the Lekki-Victoria Island-Ajah area of Lagos state, were submerged in flood due to the heavy rainfall experienced since the early hours of July 8.
Despite the fact that residents of Lagos state are not new to flood, this seems to be on a whole new level as the flooding left people scooping water out of their houses, some were seen swimming and an 'oyinbo' man was even seen paddling his canoe on a major road.
Residents have since taken to social media to share their plight. While some mocked them, others expressed their sympathy.
