Heavy rainfall on Wednesday led to severe flooding in Shadia Estate, located in Sholuyi, Gbagada, Lagos, causing significant distress among the residents.

An X user, known by the handle #MyGbagada, posted a video on X.com, capturing the devastating impact of the flood. The video reveals the extent of the damage, with many homes submerged.

The user captioned the video with, “Shadia Estate by the canal (Sholuyi Gbagada) is totally flooded and most houses are submerged because the canal had been stagnant & it’s overflowing back into the road and houses.

“Dear sir #tokunbo_wahab, please help us clear the canals to prevent loss of properties and lives.”

In response, Lagos Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, assured that the situation would be addressed. He wrote, “This will be addressed soon.”
