The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has warned of intense rain from August 4 to 6, 2025, predicting flash floods in Lagos and other southern states, including Oyo, Ogun, Edo, Delta, and Bayelsa. Affected areas in Lagos include Ikorodu (Oko Ope, Anjorin, Abule Eko, Odetedo, Ijede), where homes and streets were flooded, worsened by an unfinished drainage project in Ijede, according to residents."}
