Following persistent heavy rainfall on Friday, October 11, a Nursery and Primary school in Agege Local Government Area, of Lagos State, was submerged in flood water.
The heavy rainfall which started as early as 8 am, paralysed both human and vehicular activities as most of parts of the state were taken over by flash floods.
As a result of the downpour, motorists and commuters were trapped in traffic across the state.
In one of the worst hit areas, Orile-Agege, a concerned resident of Orile-Agege, Johnson Babatunde, told Saturday Vanguard that the pupils of Ladoje Nursery and Primary School in the area could not leave the premises because of the intensity of the flood.
It was gathered that the pupils were later rescued through community effort when they were moved to safe ground through a makeshift canoe.
