Many residents of Lekki Phase 1 and parts of Victoria Island in Lagos State have been trapped inside their homes as a result of a heavy downpour which caused serious flooding in the area.
The bizarre situation affected many streets and neighbourhoods. Some cars broke down, while those walking on the water-logged streets found it difficult to move.

Let us take a moment to pray for our friends in Lekki, before this flood moves them to Epe, or Cameroon. ???? pic.twitter.com/QSnXJVcvoR
