A yet to be identified secondary school student has reportedly died, while many others were allegedly swept away by flood, following a downpour in Sagamu, Ogun State.
It was learnt that parts of Sagamu affected by the Tuesday flooding are Ajaka, Express Junction, Olayinka, Ogunyanwo and Isale-Ojumele.
The dead schoolboy, who was suspected to be a student of Agbele Community High School, was swept off his feet after he fell from a bike into the flood and drowned.
Millions of Naira worth of properties, including motorcycles, were said to have been washed away while some residents sustained injuries.
Confirming the incident on Wednesday was the Ogun State Commissioner for Environment, Ola Oresanya, noting that he paid a visit to the affected areas for an on-the-spot assessment.
The commissioner explained that the redesign of the drainage masterplan of the state has become imperative, while calling on the federal government for assistance.
