After a heavy rainfall today, shops at the popular Ariaria Market in Aba were submerged in water as traders continue to count their loses.

Reports gathered by Lasgidi Online reveal that this is not the first time flood will be affecting the market.

Recall that in 2014, patent medicine dealers at the drugs section of the market lost goods worth over N2 billion to the flood. The traders alleged that flooding of the area was aggravated by a building erected on a water way adjacent the market close to the portion of the State Fire service.

This obstructive structure is reported to be owned by the son of a powerful former government official. The flooding, the traders said is further made worse by the deplorable nature of roads in the market and the Ukwu Mango area which the last administration in the state claimed to have rehabilitated.
