Osun State Government has issued a strong warning to residents about the dangers of heavy rainfall, flash floods, and windstorms. The alert comes as the rainy season intensifies across the region. Officials are urging people to take necessary precautions to avoid loss of lives and property.

The state government advised residents, especially those living in low-lying areas and near rivers, to be very careful. They warned that heavy downpours could lead to sudden flooding and strong winds that may damage roofs and other structures.

Citizens have been asked to clear their drainages and avoid dumping waste in waterways.

This warning is aimed at preventing disasters that often occur during this period. The government reminded people to stay informed through official channels and to move to safer places if necessary when the rain becomes too heavy. Parents have also been told to keep children away from flooded areas.

Many residents have welcomed the timely alert, hoping it will help reduce the impact of the expected weather conditions. Local authorities are also on standby to respond quickly to any emergency situations that may arise from the rains.

As the rainy season continues, the Osun State Government has promised to work with relevant agencies to monitor the situation closely. This proactive step is expected to save lives and minimise damage in different parts of the state. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and follow all safety guidelines.
