Flood has overtaken parts of Otuoke, hometown of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in Bayelsa state.

Otuoke is in Ogbia local government area of Bayelsa.

Some residents of the community now use canoes to assess their homes following the overflow of River Orashi-Taylor and Epie creeks.

Here are some pictures from the affected areas:
