According to them, every major rainfall leaves homes flooded, destroys property, and disrupts their daily lives.

Others expressed frustration over what they describe as inadequate drainage infrastructure and a lack of lasting solutions to recurring floods in their communities.

The floods have displaced several households, with some residents seeking temporary shelter elsewhere while waiting for the water to recede.

Affected residents are appealing to the government, local authorities, and the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) to come to their aid and address the underlying causes of the flooding.

The incident comes as parts of the country continue to experience heavy rains, raising concerns about the vulnerability of several communities to flood disasters.
