In a devastating turn of events, approximately 103 communities in the Ahoada West Local Government Area of Rivers State have been ravaged by severe flooding.
This catastrophe was a result of a lethal mix of intense rainfall and an overwhelming overflow of the Orashi River.
It has come to light that in the Akinima, which serves as the LGA’s administrative hub, homes and farmland have been nearly engulfed by the rising floodwaters.
Among the affected areas are Mbiama, Akinima, Engenni, Enedua, and several others.
The Chief Press Secretary for Ahoada West LGA, Esedi Joe, has acknowledged the gravity of the situation, stating that the local government council is caught off guard and is in dire need of assistance. He has emphasized the plea for support from the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, and various international organizations.
