Tampered-with koker leaves several Leguan homes inundated

Several homes at Endeavour, Leguan Island were reportedly inundated on Sunday evening as a result of what is believed to be a tampered-with sea koker.
“The National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) has received information that someone has tampered with the sea koker at Endeavour, Leguan, Essequibo Island. As a result, approximately 15 residents of the community are experiencing flooding due to the high tide,” the Agriculture Ministry stated in a release.
The NDIA, the release stated, is closely monitoring the situation, and the floodwaters are expected to recede during the next low tide, which was scheduled for 11:56h on Sunday.
An investigation was launched by the NDIA, and the matter was also reported to the Police.
