The incident occurred weeks after rainfall wreaked havoc in the state.
PUNCH Metro reported that property worth millions of naira were destroyed in the Ikorodu area, which was mostly affected.
The experience on Tuesday was not far from different as major roads and some neighbourhoods in the state were overtaken by floodwaters.
From Ago Palace Way, Okota, to Ikorodu, Akowonjo, and Lekki, residents lamented how their homes and shops had been flooded, leaving them stranded.
In a viral video sighted by PUNCH Metro on Tuesday, Alhaji Idowu Street in the Akowonjo area was filled with water.
“This is just three hours of rain, and everywhere is flooded. When it is not as if the people living here are not humans. This is just too bad,” a resident in the area lamented.
It was a similar sight in the Okota area of the state as vehicles were seen moving at a slow pace on both sides of the already flooded Ago Palace Way.
In a video sent to our correspondent by a resident of Osapa London in the Lekki area, the roads linking estates in the neighbourhood were also flooded at different points.
The resident, identified simply as Mustapha, said, “When the rain started this morning, I knew there was no going out for me today. I have been indoors all day. There were some points in the flood where the water would almost flow into your vehicle, and I couldn’t take that risk. I took it before, but not again. Even Uber drivers don’t want to come to this side of our place because of the damage the flood does to their vehicles.”
Motorists and pedestrians were also trapped in the gridlock that built up on several flooded highways. In some areas, vehicles broke down on the waterlogged roads, worsening the situation for commuters rushing to work.
Sharing her experience, a pedestrian, Mojisola Ajisafe, lamented how the flood on the road linking Agege to Ogba and Wempco Road affected vehicular movement along the area.
According to her, vehicles were at a point forced to a halt when the road became almost impassable due to the flood.
“The T-junction by the Mobil filling station was heavily flooded as some vehicles did not move at all. They had to wait for some time for the water to reduce, except for some SUVs and commercial buses. This caused a lot of traffic and even made the resume late to the office.”
It was another nightmare for Ikorodu residents as another resident sent a video to PUNCH Metro, which showed some flooded areas in the community.
Commercial drivers plying the Egbeda-Idimu area also lamented as flood took over some parts of the road. They also called for the intervention of the state government.
One of them, who identified himself simply as Saheed, told PUNCH Metro, “This is not the first time we are complaining about flooding in this area. It is already getting out of hand. The government needs to find a permanent solution to it.”
The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunboh Wahab, said on August 4 via his X handle that the state government had resilient systems in place to manage flash floods, but the sheer volume of rainfall may temporarily overwhelm some drainage channels.
“As a coastal city, Lagos is naturally vulnerable to tidal lock-up when rising water levels in the lagoon slow down the discharge of runoff. This is further worsened by climate change. We are closely monitoring areas near rivers and lagoons, which are at higher risk of flash floods with strong currents,” he added.
The spokesperson for the ministry, Adekunle Adeshina, did not respond to calls made to his telephone line on Tuesday. A text message sent to him had yet to be responded to as of the time this report was filed.

Terrorists release photo of m8rdered Kaduna Anglican priest....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
Terrorists have released a picture of the abducted wife and daughter of slain Kaduna Anglican priest with gun pointed at them.
LIB reported that Ven. Edwin Achi, his wife Sarah and their daughter were abducted from their residence in Chikun Local Government Area on October 28, 2025.
The terrorists threatened to k!ll the victims if their family failed to pay N200 million ransom.
The abductors killed the priest before the ultimatum lapsed and later released a picture of him and his wife on his Facebook page.
A family member, Avril, confirmed the latest development on X while addressing journalist Rufai Oseni.
“Please keep pushing the news that Ven. Edwin Achi’s wife Sarah Achi is still in captivity. Their captors recently uploaded a picture of her and daughter, with a gun pointed at them. Their demands are incoherent at this point,” he wrote.
Posting a heart wrenching photo of the victims on Wednesday, he wrote: “This is not a country.”
A heartwarming act of kindness by Senator Natasha Hadiza Akpoti has captured hearts on social media after she surprised her long-time domestic staff, Abdul Bambamba, with a home of his own.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
Abdul, a skilled plaster-of-Paris (POP) artisan, had been contracted to work on a building, unaware that he was actually constructing his future home, the emotional revelation left him in tears of disbelief and gratitude.
In her words, she said:
“This particular house has a special story behind it, and the owner does not know it belongs to him. His name is Abdul Bambamba. He is actually an uncle to my children. I was married to his relative.
Even though the marriage failed, Abdul remained committed to me. He always cared for me and the children, even before I met my husband now. He has been a very special person to me.”
The gesture was more than just a gift; it was a recognition of years of loyalty and unwavering support. According to Senator Natasha, Abdul is more than an artisan, he is a family.
Even after her previous marriage ended, Abdul remained a steadfast presence, looking after her and her children through difficult times and significant milestones.
Overwhelmed by his humility, kindness, and steadfast loyalty, Senator Natasha decided to honor him in a way he would never expect: by giving him a home he had helped build with his own hands.
The touching moment has gone viral on social media, with many praising Senator Natasha’s generosity and describing Abdul’s loyalty as rare and commendable.
