Heavy rainfall cuts off Abuja community

The continuous rainfall in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) that started on Friday to Saturday morning has cut off Kuchiyakwo community from other neighbouring communities in the area.
The heavy rainfall has flooded some houses and washed
away the road linking Kuchiyakwo Ecwa Church and its extension in the community.
Some residents of the community who spoke with the NAN on Saturday described the state of the road as devastating and called on Kuje Area Council authorities for immediate action.
Mr Abraham Gado, a resident whose house was flooded, attributed the havoc to lack of standard drainage and improper building by some residents.
“The district head and some stakeholders of the community have had series of meetings to find a lasting solution to this road but have yielded no result.
“The road has no drainage and some have built their houses very close to the road instead of giving some space.
