Residents count losses as Osun River rises

Residents along the Osun River in Osogbo, Osun State, are suffering losses as rising water levels flood houses and farmland. The increase is caused by heavy rainfall over the past four days, which has led to stronger currents and overflow beyond the river's usual channel. Some residents have evacuated their belongings and moved to safer areas, fearing further water level rises. The flooding has also affected farmers, with some losing crops, prompting calls for river dredging to prevent future floods.
