Residents of the two communities woke to see that the only
bridge connecting them has been wash off by the midnight downpour which lasted
for hours.
With this development, it is now a compulsory task for
members of the affected communities to go through a longer route if they plan
to travel to other parts of the senatorial district, instead of a journey which
usually last some minutes before the collapse of the bridge.
The development has caused confusion in the Akoko and Ose
local government axis of the state as prospective travelers have been stranded
because of lack of access road.
A former Councillor in Ose local government, Isaac Obiniran,
while calling on government to expedite effort at reconstructing the bridge,
stated that the only alternative route is not only longer but also in a
terrible state with robbers usually operating there.
“There is hardly a week that travelers will not be robbed or
kidnapped along the road.
“The other Ipele- Idoani- Isua road, which is federal highway
that would have been a good alternative to Oba – Akungba -Oka road, is also in
a very bad state.
He urged the Ondo state government to quickly come to the
rescue of numerous travelers passing through the road.
