Virtually all parts of the Mainland and Island areas of Lagos State were flooded on Thursday morning after a downpour that lasted all night.
Areas affected the most included Victoria Island, Ogba, Ikoyi, Ikeja, Okota and Ojota.
The rain, which started shortly before midnight on Wednesday, only subsided at about 7am in some areas.
In others, it was well past 8am before the rain stopped.
Owing to non existent, poor or blocked drainage, it was difficult for the rain water to flow into available channels.
There has been a warning that the state will experience not less than 236 days of rain this year.
