For weeks now, residents of parts of Kosofe have been struggling with an unusual water shortage. From Ogudu to Ketu, taps that once flowed freely have gone dry, leaving people scrambling for alternatives. But what’s behind this sudden crisis?
Some blame aging pipes, while others whisper about secret construction projects diverting water. The Lagos State Water Corporation says repairs are ongoing, but many locals aren’t convinced. Borehole owners are making a killing, selling water at skyrocketing prices, and some residents claim the shortages conveniently started just as private water vendors increased their rates.
Could there be more to this than meets the eye? Is Kosofe facing a genuine infrastructure failure, or is someone profiting from the chaos?
Residents are demanding answers—and fast. Until then, they’re left with buckets, long queues, and rising frustration. One thing is clear: in Kosofe right now, water is more valuable than gold.
