Ota among Ogun communities in darkness after rainstorm havoc

Scores of communities in Ogun State including Ota have been thrown into darkness after a heavy rainstorm wreaked havoc in the area.

The rainstorm, which occurred last weekend, destroyed many electricity poles and plunged the communities into darkness.

Some houses also had their roofs blown away by the storm just as many roads were flooded.

Residents of the affected areas are said to have been battling with a power outage since Saturday.

They said the power outage was making life more difficult for them and called on the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company to rescue the situation.

The power distribution company has apologised to the affected customers for the inconveniences caused by the power outage.
