The agency said the chances of flash flood events on roads, settlements,

skidding off the road and with chances of car crashes, and cautioned the
public to take heed and avoid damages from rain related hazards
occasioned by the predicted flash flood.
It also advised Nigerians not to ignore the latest prediction, adding that
the previous three-day forecast issued towards the end of July was 100
percent accurate with disheartening tales of lives and property affected
significantly.
