Several tenants have relocated from the area because flood had taken over their houses destroying properties estimated at several millions of naira. It was a pitiable sight last week when residents of the area staged a protest to the premises of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, in Benin City.
Flooded Clifford Street...Residents are appealing to relevant authorities for relief.
They narrated that the problem started after the commencement of the road project, particularly the digging of a manhole somewhere around the road, which, according to them, created a passage for the flood to flow through the entire houses in the area.
They regretted that several efforts made to get the attention of the state government and the contractor handling the project, Servetek Construction Company, proved abortive. Vanguard Metro, VM, observed that fleeing residents of the area relocated to the homes of their relatives, making life very unbearable for them.
