The headquarters of Ayamelum local government area of Anambra State have been trapped as flood has submerged the community and its environs.

The affected people yesterday called on the state government and other good-spirited individuals to come to their rescue by sending boats to evacuate them as that is the only means left to save their lives.

Motorists, residents and visitors to the area could not drive out of the area as the flood overflew the Onitsha/Otuocha/Ayamelum road that leads to the area.

The Ezu river has been submerged too, and the river covered by flood, thereby making it impassable for travellers and residents”..
