The rains on June 3, 2026, had flooded the house and had now entered the rooms in the compound. The young man's room was not left out as water entered his place and destroyed his belongings.
In a video, the young man was seated at the entrance to his room. He was collecting the water from his entrance, a possible way of preventing more from entering his room.
However, as he collected the water, more of it came into the house and found its way into his room.
The young man sat at the entrance of his room and started to cry.
At one point, he showed what his room looked like due to the flood. Water was under his bag and other things which were on the floor in the room.
He was counting his losses as the water kept entering his room. The young man looked helpless and hurt by the destruction of the flood.
