Residents of the Lekki Axis in Lagos State have remained trapped in their homes following a flood that hit the area in the third day of a heavy downpour.

With Lekki being one of the worst hit, residents have been lamenting that the deluge is so massive that they are unable to leave their homes.

Though not as heavy as it was on Saturday some of the residents who attempted to go out are forced to stay back while others had their cars stuck in the water.

Some of them who spoke with Channels Television said the Lekki/ Ajah masterplan may have been compromised and they are calling on government to come to their aid before the whole area is submerged.

Reacting to the development, the Lagos State Government reiterated its call for residents to observe extreme caution on the roads as torrential rain persists across the state.

The Police also asked road users in the state to avoid the the Ahmadu Bello Way on Victoria Island for some time.

The State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, said heavy downpour is expected for a few more weeks and warned residents to desist from dumping refuse on water channels.
