US based Akalite and one of the victims of the flood that devastated some parts of Umuaka last week, Dr Marshall Madu has cried out to the Imo State Government for a lasting solution to prevent the reoccurrence of massive flood that hit some parts of Umuaka town last week. Dr Madu who is an American based security expert was among those whose houses in Uba Umuaka were seriously affected by the flood.
Dr. Madu told Umuaka Times last week that one of the ways to stop the reoccurrence of the flood tragedy was for the community to construct a big borrow pit to pave ways for a proper drainage system in and around Umuezikukwu and Umuezeala Uba communities. Umuaka Times gathered last week that some private residences of some villagers from Uba and Obinwanne communities collapsed after the heavy downpour. Dr Madu who also confirmed the incident further disclosed to Umuaka Times that “the possibility of more houses collapsing is real and appealed to people to be vigilant and watch their environments and houses closely to avoid human tragedy and casualties.
