Abuja residents are crying out after the Nation’s capital was hit with unprecedented flooding that has seen many parts of the city submerged in water.
This is occasioned by the aftermath of the heavy rainfall in federal capital territory that started Thursday morning.
Most estates in Lokogoma are reported to have been flooded, blocking access roads for human and vehicular movements.
Motorists plying the airport road axis are also reportedly battling with the flood as they navigate.
NOTE: If you must drive amidst this heavy rainfall, ensure you put on your hazard light (double pointer) and move at a slower speed. #AbujaFacts pic.twitter.com/6xkyNDW1AB

“Does the FCT minister know what he should be doing?” That’s the right question to be asked.

Lokogoma people will be looking for Noah’s Ark right now. Even my area at ACO airport road this morning was lowkey flooded. People do not even have the right education on how to dispose their refuse dumps, then AEPB can’t even run a sustainable way of picking em up.

Just heard the last government to make angry meaningful development in Abuja was the Obasanjo’s administration. The current one is only interested in the lives of his cattles hence he is bringing them to Abuja
