Torrential rainfall has left Agbado Road in Ogun State submerged, cutting off a major alternative route linking several Lagos-Ogun border communities and disrupting movement for commuters and motorists.The flooding, observed on Sunday, followed downpours that began on Saturday and continued into Sunday, leaving the road impassable in many sections.Agbado Road connects communities including Adiyan, Ope-Ilu, Itoki and Abule-Ijoko en route to Sango-Ota and serves as an alternative to the often-congested Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.Video footage from the scene, shot by The PUNCH correspondent, showed large sections of the road completely submerged, with floodwater inundating roadside kiosks, point-of-sale stands and market stalls.Several motorcycles were seen abandoned or partially submerged, while tricycles and commuters were stranded as the floodwaters made movement impossible.A filling station located along the route was also surrounded by floodwater, while residents watched from higher ground as commercial and vehicular activities ground to a halt.The incident comes amid repeatedwarningsby the Nigerian Meteorological Agency over increased flood risks during the peak of the rainy season.In its latest flash flood advisory, NiMet warned that widespread rainfall expected during the first decade of July (July 1–10) could trigger flooding in 27 states across the country.Related NewsOgun warns market leaders against illegal dumpsites, threatens closurePolice arrest 43 suspects in fresh Ogun raidCross River flood victims lament, seek government helpThe agency attributed the heightened flood risk to persistent rainfall recorded in June, saying the continued downpours had left soils saturated and unable to absorb additional precipitation.According to NiMet, states at risk of flash flooding include Taraba, Sokoto, Borno, Zamfara, Kebbi, Katsina, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Plateau, Adamawa, Kwara, Kogi, Oyo, Ogun, Lagos, Osun,
