The rain which started in the early hours of Wednesday flooded roads on the Island and the Mainland.
Most people who escaped the rain on their way to work came back to flooded streets after work.
Some of the roads were so flooded that vehicles could not pass through them, forcing the residents living in such areas to wade through the pool of water.
Residents of Aboru Road, Iyana Ipaja, lamented the fate befalling the axis of the metropolis.
A resident, Yemi Oluwasola told Daily Times that the experience is "scary judging from the havoc that flooding wrecked in the state last raining season."
"We just hope we are not into it again this year. Last year's experience is still very fresh in our memories," he said.
Residents have called on the Lagos State government to come to their rescue, to avert the impending danger of flood.
On Victoria Island, most of the adjoining roads were flooded and most pedestrians were forced to board motorcycles to escape the flood.
Lagos State, last year, had heavy downpour, resulting in floods which destroyed property and lives in some parts of the state.
The state is expected to experience more than 250 days of heavy downpour this year.
