On Friday, 6th October 2023, an unexpected heavy downpour wreaked havoc in Shellmingo, located in the southern region of Sierra Leone in Bo. The sudden flooding severely impacted the day-to-day operations of the bustling area.
Footage making rounds on social media platforms paints a grim picture: vast stretches of Shellmingo submerged underwater, with both vehicles and pedestrians struggling to navigate through the inundated streets.
Particularly hard-hit were the myriad of businesses that populate Shellmingo. The flooding did not spare the CONEX fueling station either, with visuals showing the facility awash in floodwaters.
For a firsthand look at the extent of the flooding, see the below video:
My sympathy to everyone at shellmingo especially where the flooding took place. May God take control and continue to protect and guide you, Amen. May God bless our country Sierra Leone and all Sierra Leaonean. Thank you all, your everything Steven Do
