Kwara heavy downpour killed three, 1,000 stranded
At about11pm on Wednesday, over three people including two children and a young person have drowned after heavy downpour in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
Properties worth several millions of Naira were destroyed and about 25 cars were swept away from their parks.
The flood also cut off a large chunk of soil from beneath the rail track of the Nigeria Railway Corporation, cutting through the road thereby retards the train from passing by. A section of the rail track behind Kingdom Heritage Secondary school was also affected.
Consequently no fewer than 1000 passengers on a train travelling from Lagos to the northern part of the country were stranded.
While visiting the affected areas on Thursday it was made known that relatives of the dead victims mourned while other victims that lost their valuables lamented their losses.
