“Peoples’ foodstuff,, documents and properties, especially those that went to exam and are not around were destroyed. Someone even left her laptop on the floor charging and she went out.”
Videos showed some of the students who are around in the hostel struggled to save some of their properties, many of which could be seen floating on the water inside their rooms.
The videos showed that the floods took over students’ rooms, toilets, kitchens and all the entrances to their hostel.
A female student could be heard lamenting that the flood took over her room, destroying everything she has including the ones in her cupboard, her bed, and that she has been unable to go out and buy what she wants to eat.
Effort to reach spokesperson of the institution for reaction proved abortive as call put to her phone was not going.
