Blackout Looms In Sango As Heavy Rainfall Wreaks Havoc On Electric Poles
ABEOKUTA – Several electricity poles bearing electricity cables connecting many residents and business premises in Sango area of Ogun state were pulled down on Sunday, April 21, after a heavy down pour.
The rain which started around 1.00pm was accompanied by forceful wind, uprooted some of the poles, throwing them into the Sango road, and causing obstruction as the loops of cables fell over one another into the road.
A long bus painted in a yellow colour and believed to be used for conveying religious people going to worship centre was seen abandoned by the middle of the road after about three poles fell on it.
A trending video of the havoc wreaked by the rain showed residents coming out to see the extent of damage done by the rain just as they complained that the poles were recently installed in the affected areas.
