This is coming shortly after Waterfront residents of highbrow Ikoyi, Lekki and Victoria Island

to be wary of back flow due to the high tide in Lagos Lagoon.
The advisory was issued by Lagos state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources Commissioner Tunji Bello.
Bello said that the lagoon’s high tide had made it difficult for storm runoff from the various channels to discharge into the lagoon properly.
He further added that this may have resulted in stagnation into the streets and major roads until the lagoon receded to allow a discharge of the channels.
