The Acting Director-General of the Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Department, Abdulrahman Mohammed, has appealed to residents living close to water channels to consider relocating as the rainy season intensifies.
The appeal followed a flooding incident in the early hours of Friday at a one-storey building located at 22 Anthony Ikem Street, behind Blue Cabana Hotel in Mabushi District, FCT.
In a statement signed by the Head of Public Affairs, Nkechi Isa, FEMD said the overnight downpour led to the flooding of the ground floor of the building.
The agency disclosed that “it received a distress call at about 3:00 a.m.” and immediately deployed its Search and Rescue Team to the scene.
