Torrential rainfall has left Agbado Road in Ogun State submerged, cutting off a major alternative route linking several Lagos-Ogun border communities and disrupting movement for commuters and motorists.
The flooding, observed on Sunday, followed downpours that began on Saturday and continued into Sunday, leaving the road impassable in many sections.
Agbado Road connects communities including Adiyan, Ope-Ilu, Itoki and Abule-Ijoko en route to Sango-Ota and serves as an alternative to the often-congested Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.
Video footage from the scene, shot by The PUNCH correspondent, showed large sections of the road completely submerged, with floodwater inundating roadside kiosks, point-of-sale stands and market stalls.
