The Nigerian Emergency Management Agency(NEMA) has confirmed the death of one and two missing persons in a Tuesday evening flood incident around the Joyce-B/Mobil area of Ibadan.
The NEMA South-West Coordinator, Kadir Olanrewaju, disclosed this to newsmen in Ibadan on Wednesday while assessing the level of damage at the scene.
NAN reports that a heavy downpour on Tuesday across some areas within the Ibadan metropolis affected some residential areas, leaving inestimable property destroyed.
Olanrewaju attributed the flooding to improper channelisation of drainage in the area, saying the volume of water in the area was too much for the available drainages.
He advised that people should move away from the areas because if it rain again it could be devastating.
