A flooding incident has wrecked havoc at the University of Ibadan (UI) destroying documents, books, foodstuffs and other valuable properties of the students.
It was gathered that the properties were destroyed by floods that submerged some hostels of the institution.
A source within the university told SaharaReporters that the most affected hall of residence is Awo Hostel where about 16 rooms in the underground floor were completely submerged with students’ properties floating on the water.
“This is the third time everywhere is getting flooded but the first time our rooms are getting flooded like this,” one of the affected students said.

The student added, “Peoples’ foodstuffs, documents and properties, especially those that went to exam and are not around were destroyed.
“Someone even left her laptop on the floor charging and she went out.”
Videos obtained by SaharaReporters showed some of the students who are around in the hostel struggle to save some of their properties, many of which could be seen floating on the water inside their rooms.
The videos showed that the floods took over students’ rooms, toilets, kitchens and all the entrances to their hostel.
A female student could be heard lamenting that the floods took over her room, destroying everything she has including the ones in her cupboard, her bed, and that she has been unable to go out and buy what she wants to eat.
