Residents of Agodo in the Egbe-Idimu Local Council Development Area have alleged that part of the buildings constructed by the Synagogue Church of All Nations in the area have blocked the main canal in the community.
They said the blockage had prevented the flow of water from drainage channels in the neighbourhood into the canal, thereby resulting in flood whenever it rains.
It was learnt that the canal connects Egbe under-the-bridge and Ore Oke-Isheri.
The residents, who are seeking succour ahead of approaching rainy season, lamented that flood had destroyed their property and forced some landlords to abandon their houses.
Our correspondent was told that no fewer than 12 streets were affected by the flood which had wreaked havocs on a large number of houses in the area.
