In wake of the flooding in Makurdi, while houses have been submerged, a portion of the Makurdi-Lafia road at the Yelewata settlement on the outskirts of Makurdi has collapsed and just a chunk of the rod is still hanging. Yesterday night, tragedy occurred as a car collapsed into the pit and one person died on the spot.

As a result, some angry youths in the area have barricaded the road in demonstration. The condition is critical that, another heavy rainfall is enough to severe Makurdi and all persons passing through it from the rest of Lafia to Abuja therefrom.

Please the Federal Government should come to the aid of Nigerians by fixing the road else, people may soon be stranded when the road finally collapse.
