Residents of some communities in Edo State have started relocating over the risks of a potential flood disaster.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) disclosed this in a post it shared on its official X account on Friday morning.
“Residents of Obadudu, Ukpeko Uzanu and the surrounding communities in Etsako East Local Government Area (LGA) of Edo State are relocating due to rising water levels and increased rainfall,” NEMA wrote.
“This move follows recent assessments by officials from NEMA Edo, the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) and Etsako East Local Government on the potential flood risks in the region.”
