Lagos Mainland Flooded morning of LG Elections

Social media users have shared photos of parts of the Mainland area of Lagos, including Somolu, Isolo, and Surulere flooded on Saturday morning.

The flood has forced residents to stay in their homes, unable to cast their votes in the Local Government Chairmanship elections.

Parts of Victoria Island, Lekki and VGC areas of the state had been flooded two weekd ago on July.
