Victims of the flood that ravaged parts of Uyo metropolis have begun recounting their ordeals.
The flood, which followed a heavy downpour that lasted throughout Thursday night, devastated many homes and rendered several residents homeless.
Speaking with our correspondent in Uyo on Friday, one of the victims, who identified himself simply as Idongesit, lamented that he could not salvage any of his belongings, as his entire house was submerged.
“I woke up in the middle of the night to see the raging flood, and before I could do anything, the whole area had been overtaken by the flood. I tried, but I could not rescue a single item from my house. All my clothes, the mattress and everything else were destroyed by the flood,” Idongesit lamented.
He called on the state government to assist the victims without delay.
