The Lagos State Government has issued a fresh warning to residents living in low-lying areas across Lekki, Ikorodu, and Ajegunle to relocate immediately to higher ground, as more flooding is expected due to intensified rainfall this season.

The State’s Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, gave the order during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday.

The warning comes after parts of the state were severely flooded on Monday following marathon rainfall that began Sunday night and continued through the next day. Viral videos

He advised the affected communities to act now to avoid avoidable disasters as the rains intensify.

“Those around the Ajilete axis of Lagos, that’s Ajegunle, have to move,” Wahab said. “Those around the coastline of Ikorodu; Majidun, have to move. Some areas around the Lekki corridor too — not all.”

Wahab specifically mentioned Isheri in the OPIC area as another flood-prone location where residents should be on high alert.

He reassured residents in other parts of Lagos such as Epe, Mushin, and Ikeja, which he described as generally safe.

The death toll after the flood that hit Adamawa State capital about 10 days ago has been put at 29.

The Deputy Governor of Adamawa State, Professor Kaletapwa Farauta gave the update on Tuesday, in Yola when the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu provided support for affected residents.

Kaletapwa, who represented Governor Ahmadu Fintiri during the symbolic distribution of the cash and other relief items to the flood victims, said the latest assessment of the effects of the July 27, 2025 floods showed, by Monday August 4, that 29 people in total had died as a result of the flood.

The flood in view had swept through communities in Yola South, one of the two local government areas constituting the twin Yola capital territory, and has come to be seen as one of the worst floods that have been recorded in the capital city in recent times.

Farauta, who said the state government had done much on its own to help the victims of the flood, thanked Remi Tinubu for intervening.
