No fewer than 36 communities in four local government areas of Anambra State have been sub merged.
The affected local government areas are Anambra West, Ayamelum, some parts of Anambra East, and Ogbaru.
The state government led by Governor Chukwuma Soludo, had been warning the residents to relocate from their areas to avoid regret, especially those at the riverine areas.
The flooding has left many people homeless especially, those who believed flooding would not occur this year.
Some of them were shocked when the surge came unexpectedly, but some of the farmers had already cleared their produce before the flooding.
A resident, Comfort Okonkwo said her family had relocated to Otuocha to seek refuge.
The middle-aged farmer said already they had harvested their farm produce at Anambra West before the flooding arrived.
In Mmiata Anam, Ukwala, and other communities in Anambra East and West, farmers had harvested their crops to avoid being caught unprepared.
Prince Chris Okwuosa from Umuzu in Ogbaru local government area expressed concern, saying they thought the flood would not come again this year despite the warnings.
