Flooding
Mputu is a flood prone area. In 2022, the bridge leading to the communities in Ogbaru local government area collapsed during the flood and Mputu was affected. According to a community, “we have long been cut off, without anyone making any appreciable effort to assuage our pains. This is the only road that connects all communities in Ogbaru, but surprisingly, it cuts into two somewhere around Ofia Umuoga, between Ogbakuba and Umunankwo.”[7]
