Expdonaloaded News; Anambra residents battle with snakes, dangerous reptiles( Flood )

Days after flood destroyed buildings and properties in different parts of Anambra State, it has been tales of woes and lamentations. Residents of Oduke and Ibollo Layouts cutting across parts of Awada Obosi and Onitsha are now battling with snakes, crocodiles and other dangerous reptiles, which the heavy flood brought into their homes.
When Expdonaloaded blog visited the area yesterday, people living at Obiajulunwa Street, Oduke were in disarray as they struggled to kill snakes hiding in different bedrooms and compound within the area. Some of the residents, who spoke to Expdonaloaded blog, said that though the flood was receding, they were now afraid to sleep in their homes unless total fumigation was carried out. While some of the residents battled to kill snakes, youths in the area were having fun by snapping their pictures and sending the images to different social network sites. At 136 Ezeiweka Road, the landlord of the building, Ignatius Ezeike, has started rebuilding the fence pulled down by the flood and the water channel leading to the building. In chat with Expdonaloaded blog, Ezeike noted that the flood also destroyed four vehicles in the compound and damaged other properties running into millions of naira. He attributed the problem of the area to the wrong channelling of flood by a construction company that handled the Ezeiweka Road project and said if the government delayed in responding to the problem of the area, more casualties would be recorded. Contacted, the Anambra State Commissioner for Works, Law Chinwuba, said the government had put machinery in motion to salvage the people of the area. He also advised residents to avoid building on flood channels.
