Houses and vehicles have been submerged following flash floods that hit Trademore Estate in Abuja.
The Estate residents in Lugbe along Airport Road in the nation’s capital again suffered a flash flood as an early morning rain submerged houses and vehicles.
The rain which started around 9 am on Friday caused traffic jam as residents were trapped in their houses.Although no life was lost, the Chairman of the residents association, Mr Adewale Adenaike said the association was worried that the flash floods had become an annual occurrence within the estate.
The FCT Emergency Management Agency advised residents to avoid driving on flowing water whenever it rained.
Trademore Estate has been ravaged by floods during previous rainy seasons with the FCT Administration repeatedly promising to mitigate the flood, only for the disaster to continue to reoccur annually.
A similar flood in 2022 claimed three lives.
