The Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Agency has warned residents against going through flood water to prevent avoidable death.
Wenegieme, while reacting to the demise of a 31-year-old motorcyclist from flooding in Abuja on Friday, appealed to residents to listen to FEMA’s warnings to save their lives from untimely and preventable death. She said that the sad incident was avoidable; stressing that FEMA barricaded the road to stop people from going in and out of the community whenever the road was flooded.“We have also mounted billboards at that particular location and other vulnerable areas, warning residents not to drive or walk in running water.
She expressed concern that despite several awareness campaigns in communities, some residents still ignored FEMA’s warnings against going through flood water.PDP: Pick Southern Presidential candidate if Saraki becomes chairman - Anakwenze
