Aside from the severe flooding and heavy rainfall reported in various parts of Lagos state following the nightlong rain, which left several access routes in Lagos engulfed by gully erosion, a section of the Lagos-Abeokuta has totally collapsed and sunk for the second time in the last one year.
The highwaycollapse, which was as a result of the overwhelming erosion from the last rainfall, saw a freight truck falling over, and traffic gridlock extending from Obadeyi Bus stop to Kollington Bus Stops along the road.
Heavy erosion has taken a big chunk of the road, just as it did last yearJuly. It took time for the road repairs, and it is not known when the new collapse might be repaired. Transportation became scarce for the regular users of the road, and its bus fees hiked. Serious flooding has also been reported at Surulere, Agege, and environs early this morning.
