The Kara cattle market community under
the Lagos-Ibadan expressway has become
a mecca of sort after the Ogun River which
flows under the Kara Bridge around Ojodu
Berger area of Lagos sudden went dry.
The incident which occurred on Saturday, June
18, caused heavy traffic in the area as passers-
by trooped to see the dried section of the river
which once provided water for the Kara cattle
and ram market.
Prior to the rare occurrence, the water body once
served as means of transportation for canoe
owners until, according to residents, they woke
up to see the channel blocked on Saturday
morning.
The dryness was initially believed to be water
hyacinth but the surface of what used to be the
flowing river had become a firm ground.
However, the river was seen flowing freely on the
other side of the Kara Bridge.
Environmentalists have warned residents to keep
off the blocked channel for the risks of it
opening up unexpectedly and advised relevant
authorities to find a means of clearing the
plants.
