60 Homes, 5 Churches Destroyed By Flood In Rivers by philchudi: 3:20am On Oct 20, 2015 |
PORT HARCOURT – OVER 1000 persons have
been rendered homeless as flood sacked about
60 homes and five churches in Ahoada West
Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The flood caused by overflow of Orashi river,
affected five communities, including Oruama,
Akinima, Mbiama and Joinkrama 1and 2.
Meteorologists had predicted flooding in some
communities in the country, including those in
Ahoada, which was also heavily hit by the 2012
flooding.When Vanguard visited the area, flood
had already taken over several homes, leaving
the residents in absolute confusion and fear. Mr.
Eniata Abiaba, a community leader in one of the
communities, Akinima, complained that the flood
took them unawares, adding that all their farms
had been submerged.
He said the communities were now in big
problem, noting that the people thought they
would never experience the type of flooding that
affected the area in 2012.
He said: “The communities that are experiencing
the flood is in a big problem because of the
overflow of Orashi river. Now our homes and
farms have been submerged in the water. We
don’t have where to go and what to eat.”
Meanwhile, the immediate past chairman of
Ahoada West Local Government Area, Mr.
Ikechukwu Obuzor, has called for a swift
intervention by the National Emergency
Management Agency, NEMA, and other
responsible agencies.Obuzor said the people of
the area were now faced with several
challenges, calling on the state government to
provide alternative source of livelihood for the
people seriously affected. |
