After flash floods hit Trademore Estate in Abuja, homes and vehicles have been flooded.

According to reports, estate residents in Lugbe along Airport Road in the nation’s capital experienced a flash flood once more as an early morning downpour flooded homes and automobiles.

On Friday, when the rain started around 9 a.m., residents were trapped inside their homes, resulting in a traffic jam.

Despite the fact that nobody was hurt, Mr. Adewale Adenaike, the chairman of the residents association, said the association was concerned because the estate’s flash floods had started to occur on a yearly basis.

Every time it rained, the FCT Emergency Management Agency gave residents the advice to stay off the moving water.

Owners of homes built on the waterway should leave their locations, according to Florence Wenegieme, the agency’s Director of Forecasting, Response, and Mitigation, in a statement.

“If you realise that your house was built on a waterway, please leave that location and move to higher ground. Thank God we are Africans, we have friends and relatives.

“Please, don’t insist that you must live there because you paid for that house. If you know you are living in a house that is built in a flood-prone area, kindly move to a safer place,” she said.

The FCT Administration repeatedly pledged to reduce the flood, but the disaster continued to recur every year after it devastated Trademore Estate during previous rainy seasons.

There were three fatalities from a similar flood in 2022.
