Bayelsa State in South South Nigeria has been submerged by massive flood, sacking several residents from their homes and communities.
Many homes were swallowed up, as the governor, Douye Diri has taken as assessment tour of the affected areas.
The government advises members of the public not to embark on avoidable travels, because it is better to remain in the safety of their current locations due to the uncertainty created by the ravaging flood which has made traveling perilous.
A statement issued by Ayiba Duba, Commissioner for Information, Orientation and Strategy, said the public were also advised to assist the security agencies who have continued to up their games at keeping the state safe and secure by being watchful of their environment and report suspicious movement to the police promptly in order to prevent criminal elements from taking advantage of the flood to rob people of their belongings.
