The Oko Oba community in Agege, Lagos State, has been thrown into a state of devastation after Saturday’s heavy downpour ravaged its environs.

The heavy flood swept away buildings, goods and vehicles, leaving the entire community in panic.

Tragically, several occupants of a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), which got trapped in the raging flood have now been confirmed dead.

According to an eyewitness identified with the Twitter handle @TTofChelsea, only one person could get out of the embattled vehicle while the rest died.

A video showing residents in frantic effort in search of the occupants with the hope of removing their bodies from the SUV has made the rounds online.
