Flooding in Akili Ogidi

Flooding in Ogbaru communities like Ossomala, Obeagwe, Akili Ogidi, Ogwuikpele, and Ogwuaniocha has destroyed homes and farm camps, leaving residents in distress. Farmers, including Mr. Adimali Nwachukwu and widow Nwakaego Nwafili, reported severe crop losses that make it difficult to repay loans and sustain their families. The disaster has caused widespread anguish, financial hardship, and uncertainty for the agrarian communities. [4] [5]

Causes of flooding in Akili Ogidi

Flooding is mainly caused by the overflow of the River Niger, heavy rainfall, and poor drainage systems. Human activities like blocking waterways and farming along riverbanks also worsen the situation. [6]
