Flood resulting from a torrential downpour on Friday swept off a portion of the Ogbomoso – Igbeti road in Oyo State, leaving farmers, traders and commuters plying the road stranded and disillusioned.
The incident cut off two major zones of the state. The road was still cut off as at Saturday.
The affected road is the only link between Igbeti in Oke Ogun zone, and Ogbomoso zone of the state.
Subsequently, many traders, farmers and other commuters who are going to Oke Ogun zone from Ogbomoso and those who are going to Ogbomoso from Oke Ogun zone were trapped.
Some of the passengers who reportedly spoke noted that they left their houses early in the morning and were disappointed that the road is no more passable.
One of the traders who had been passing the road noted that the road has become impassable since morning.
“No vehicle, or motorcycles can enter from Oke Ogun and none of the ones coming from Ogbomoso can cross to the other side.
Another trader, Olubukola Olatunji hinted that some residential apartments have also been affected around Iluju and other communities in along the road.
It was further gathered that the commuters are still stranded on the road as at the time of filing this report on Saturday.
