Flooding and infrastructure damage in Osun State
Overview
Heavy rainfall in Osun State has led to significant flooding and infrastructure damage across multiple communities. In the Iwo community, residents in the Power Line Area reported that submerged homes and destroyed property have recurred, with locals claiming that inadequate drainage systems continue to make the area a “perennial flood zone” despite previous government directives to expand local rivers.
In Osogbo, the rising Osun River has flooded residential compounds and farmlands, prompting evacuations. Additionally, erosion in the Aratumi community of the Akede-Iyaloja area washed away a bridge that served as the primary link to the express road. While residents have constructed an improvised wooden pedestrian bridge, they have appealed to Governor Ademola Adeleke to reconstruct the original structure to ensure safe access.
