Just about 30 minutes of heavy rainfall has left parts of Ilorin, Kwara State struggling with rising floodwater, with the situation particularly concerning around the Darul Kitab Junction axis along the Offa Garage corridor.

The downpour has raised fresh concerns about the condition of roads around the Adisco area, where motorists and other road users may face increasing difficulty if the rainfall persists.

The situation, observed shortly after the heavy downpour, shows how quickly water can accumulate around some parts of the metropolis following intense rainfall.

Motorists are advised to exercise caution while navigating the affected areas, particularly as poor visibility and rising water levels could make movement more difficult.
