Inhabitants, particularly motorists in the identical local government areas of Uvwie and Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, have expressed fear as major roads were taken over by flood.
It was gathered that the flood was a result of the heavy rain in the area during the weekend.
One of the affected places is the popular Enerhen junction, a major gateway between the two local government areas, as the right side of the Warri South axis of the beleaguered road also known as Commercial tricycle (Keke) park could be best described as a swimming pool.
Also, most exit roads in the area, especially those in the Marine quarters were no go areas as they were taken over by the flood.
Affected roads in Uvwie local government that are also flooded include Uti Road, Refinery Road, Jakpa Road by General Hospital, Ekpan, amongst others.
Meanwhile, in Warri South, Ginuwa Road by JJC popularly known as ‘ River Ginuwa ‘ was in its conventional unenviable state of waterlogging.
The neighboring roads in Mowoe, Yoruba, Okandeji by Okoye, and Smart streets were also impassable even by pedestrians. Same with areas like Aghoghovbia, Arigbe, and Fani Kayode, amongst others.
Reacting to the perennial problem, residents in the areas appealed to the relevant authorities to urgently find a permanent solution so as to keep the areas in good condition.
