Severe rainfall has caused extensive damage to Ochanja Road, a recently completed thoroughfare in Anambra State, situated in the southeastern region of Nigeria.
Governor Charles Soludo’s administration in Anambra State was responsible for overseeing the construction of this road, which was reportedly inaugurated barely a week ago.
This road serves as a vital access route to the well-known Onitsha Main Market and Ochanja Market, both located in the Onitsha South Local Government Area of the state.
A circulating video on social media vividly displays the aftermath of the heavy rainfall on Monday evening, showing the road washed away by the force of the water.
“Soludo see it. This is Ochanja Road by Menas Junction which was constructed barely a week ago. Shortly after completion, the only rain that fell in the evening of today 25 March 2024, the road is now washed (away),” a voice said in Igbo language in the background of the clip.”
