A violent windstorm has left a trail of destruction in Kwara State, particularly affecting Ilorin and the Ogele/Eyenkorin areas of Asa Local Government. The severe weather event occurred on Sunday, March 30, 2025, leaving no fewer than 200 homes and several public schools severely damaged.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to reports from Naija News, the storm, which was accompanied by heavy rainfall, also destroyed electric cables, leading to power outages. The incident disrupted Eid-el-Fitr celebrations in Ogele-Eyenkorin and nearby communities, causing significant distress among residents.
Residents reported that over 200 houses lost their roofs, while at least 20 structures, including schools, shops, and other businesses, collapsed. The storm also brought down electricity poles and wires, further compounding the community’s challenges. Debris from the storm blocked drainage at the Kuntu bridge in the Ilorin West local government area, worsening the situation.
The affected communities include Eyenkorin, Ogele, Ifelodun, Ifesowapo, Orisunbare, Odo-Akuo, Apata Ajele, Alagbado Eyenkorin, Basa, Yakoyo, and Lekki.
Several schools were among the hardest hit, with Ogele Primary School, Ansarul-Deen Primary School, and D-Light A-Nur Nursery/Primary School losing their roofs completely. Additionally, around 15 private schools, including Community Secondary School in Apata Ajele and Wilson School in Alagbado, suffered severe damage, with some classrooms collapsing. The Government Day Secondary School also lost its roof, and the baseball facilities in Adeta were affected.
As the aftermath unfolded, many residents were left homeless, with some relocating their belongings to neighbors’ houses while awaiting help from the government and kind-hearted individuals.
Expressing his concern, Zubairu Abiola, the vice chairman of the Ifelodun community in Eyenkorin, called on the state government to intervene. He noted that the storm had rendered many residents homeless and pleaded with Governor Mallam AbdulRaman AbdulRazaq to assist the affected communities, as he has often done even during less critical situations.
Local authorities and residents are now seeking urgent relief and support to help rebuild the affected areas and restore normalcy.
