Residents of Obio village and the neighboring villages across river Obio in Drambu Sub-county who had gone to Nyadri market in Nyadri Town, Maracha District have remained stuck from 7pm upto now 1AM as the flood at Obio Bridge has blocked them from croasing to go back to their home.

By the time of our reporter filing this story right now 1AM, the helpless Residents who include women,  men, children and also  Boda Boda riders were waiting for water levels to reduce such that the temporary bridge constructed with woods can become visible for them to cross over.


It remains unclear whether the water levels will reduce soon as trapped Residents are likely to sleep at the river Bank.
It should be noted that, Obio is the bridge connecting Drambu Sub-county to Nyadri Sub-county and it's a road and bridge under the maintenance of the district.

Stay tuned.
