Lagos state government had issued fresh alert to residents of Ikoyi, Lekki and Victoria Island in October 2022
Lagos State government has issued a fresh flood alert to residents of highbrow areas on the waterfront such as Ikoyi, Lekki, Victoria Island and the coastal areas like Badagry and Epe to be cautious.
The state commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tunji Bello, made this known in a statement on Monday.
Bello stressed that the high tide of the Lagos lagoon has made it difficult for various channels to discharge effectively into the lagoon.

He said, “The high tide of the Lagos lagoon has made it difficult for storm run-off from the various channels to discharge effectively into the lagoon which may cause stagnation into the streets and major roads until the level of the lagoon subsides to allow for a discharge of the channels.”
The state had last week issued flood advisory to people living on the banks of the Ogun River, including residents of Mile 12, Agiliti, Ketu, Alapere, Agric, Owode Onirin, Ajegunle, Alagbole, Kara, Isheri Olowora, Araromi, Otun Orisha community, Maidan, Odo Ogun, Owode Elede, Agboyi I, Agboyi II, Agboyi II and Agboyi III.
