A part of the popular Ogun River which flows under the Kara Bridge
around Ojodu Berger area of Lagos State suddenly and shockingly turned
dry today June 18th. The Kara cattle market community under the bridge
along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway has become a Mecca of some sort as
people besieged the community to see the dried section of the river
which once provided water for the Kara cattle and ram market.
Residents of the area say they woke up this morning to see the river
which served as one of their means of transportation where canoes were
used to reach the dense waters, totally dry and it wasn’t like that the
day before. The surface of the water had become firm and people can now
stand on the portion of the river. More
