A devastating rainstorm has left over 100 residents of Ijagbo, Oyun Local Government Area of Kwara State, homeless after wreaking havoc on homes, schools, and market stalls.
The storm, which struck around 4 p.m. on Monday, tore off roofs, leaving families displaced and causing significant damage to properties. One of the worst-hit places was Ansar Deen College, where over 10 classrooms were affected, disrupting learning activities and exposing students and teachers to harsh weather conditions.
Speaking on the incident, the school’s principal, Mr. Olaniyi Musbaudeen, expressed deep concern over the impact on students’ education.
“We are deeply saddened by this disaster. The destruction of these classrooms poses a serious threat to our students’ education. We urgently need the government’s support to rebuild.”
Another school official, Mrs. Saheed A.M., also appealed for swift intervention, warning of long-term consequences if the damage is not addressed promptly.
Residents of the affected areas are calling on the Kwara State Government to provide relief and assistance to those who have lost their homes and livelihoods due to the storm.
