Heavy rain hit parts of Lagos and left streets underwater in the Fagba axis around Imola-Ishaga.
Locals moved through waist-deep water as it covered roads, entered homes, and affected shops.
Many walked carefully to reach safety while some vehicles stayed stuck in the flow.
Business owners checked on their properties after the water came in overnight.
This situation comes as experts had warned about higher than normal rainfall this season.
Communities in low areas face these issues every rainy period because drainage systems often cannot handle the volume.
Residents say clearing blocked channels and improving water flow could reduce the impact next time.
Transitioning from the downpour, many now focus on cleaning up and drying out their spaces.
Local officials note they continue to monitor such spots and urge people to avoid flood-prone zones during heavy rains.
The pattern repeats across several parts of the city when storms arrive, showing the need for steady upgrades to infrastructure.
