What began as a routine rainfall quickly turned into destruction in Osogbo, as a heavy downpour swept through the city, leaving behind damaged homes, stranded victims, and millions of naira in losses.
The rain, which reportedly lasted over an hour, hit several parts of the city with force, flooding streets and overwhelming drainage systems.
In its wake, the damage was immediate and visible.
Residential buildings were affected, shops flooded, and properties destroyed, with many residents still trying to assess the full extent of their losses. Some victims watched helplessly as water rushed into their homes and businesses, carrying away goods and valuables accumulated over years.
