Some houses had their roofs ‘blown away’ by the storm, even as roads were flooded.
Locals told our correspondent that residents of the affected areas had been battling with a power outage since Saturday.

She appealed to the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) to act fast.
However, the power distribution company has appealed to the affected customers, apologising to them for the inconveniences caused by the power outage.
