Pregnant Woman Among Those Killed In Ebonyi Flood

Two persons, including a pregnant woman, have so far died in the flood that has ravaged some parts of Ebonyi State since June this year, Ebonyi State Emergency Management Agency has disclosed.

The Executive Secretary of the agency, Mr Clement Ovuoba, stated this in Abakaliki on Tuesday. He said an expectant mother, one Mrs Ozoemena Ugbega, and a young man lost their lives in the disaster.

In his words, “The flood also affected 12 schools, six houses and 45 shops at the Abakaliki Building Material Market.”

The incident affected 173 people from Ikwo, Izzi, Abakaliki and Afikpo local government areas of the state, he said, adding that a number of 261 hectares of farmlands were destroyed.

Ovuoba said, “These local governments are the flood-prone areas predicted by NiMet and NEMA. We appeal to NEMA to look into our reports for more interventions because we lacked relief and rehabilitation materials.

“We have complete reports on the level of disaster in each community in all the LGAs mentioned.”

He said the agency had been embarking on public education on disasters through town hall meetings with community stakeholders, traditional leaders, youths and women, and radio and television programmes on disaster tips and management.

He called on the residents in the riverine communities of the state to relocate upland from flood-prone areas.
