Oyo State Issues Flash Flood Alert Ahead of Heavy Rains

Residents across Oyo State have been urged to prepare for possible flash flooding this month. The Nigerian Meteorological Agency warns of intense thunderstorms and heavy rainfall that could cause sudden flooding and road overflows. The state government has stepped up clearing of key drainage channels. Residents must keep drains and waterways free of waste and avoid driving or walking through flooded roads, especially at night when flash floods can be deceptive and powerful. People living in low-lying areas should move valuables, important documents, and electrical equipment above ground level. Parents are advised to keep children and other vulnerable persons indoors during heavy downpours. Emergency response teams are on standby to handle any flood-related incidents.
