“I almost cried today! Flood was so high water entered my car as I was driving, then when I got to my destination my car refused to turn on again and later when it was fixed I spent hours in traffic and got a flat tire!” she wrote.
Her remarks come amid growing concerns over perennial flooding in Lekki, which has continued to disrupt residents’ lives and damage property during the rainy season.
