There was pandemonium in Abuja when a heavy downpour, which started as early as 6am left the popular Trademore estate submerged.
Property worth millions were damaged and destroyed during the flood with residents scampering to safety.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) confirmed to reporters at the estate that a Peugeot 406 driver with a registration no. YLA 681 FS was drowned in the flood while four other persons were rescued.
Trademore estate has suffered devastating effects of flood over the years but residents heaved a sigh of relief during the 2022 rainy season when they were not affected.
