The occurrence of soil loss is a continuous process and occurs spatially across the earth’s surface. The study of soil loss is a necessity for proper understanding of the processes and the rate of soil loss for conservational purpose. Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM)/Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+)/Operational Land Imager (OLI) image data was acquired for 1986, 2003 and 2020 were used to derive the C factor of the RUSLE model while other factors of the model were kept fixed for the years considering their inability to change easily. The RUSLE model was used to determine the trend of the soil loss on the alluvium geologic formation considering their land use/land cover changes for 1986, 2003 and 2020. The rainfall erosivity of the study area had an average of 8201.45MJmmha-1h-1yr-1. The soil erodibility index of the soils obtained from Alluvium had an average of 0.150tons MJ-1 hmm-1. The slope length and steepness factor of the study area range from 0 to 2.574. the crop cover factor of for 1986 range from 0.52 to 0.87, 2003 range from 0.52 to 0.87 and 2020 range from 0.62 to 0.92. No active field conservation was found out within the study area as described by Wischmeier and Smith. The results obtained show that 1986, 2003 and 2020 had a soil loss of 1966.3, 2167.85 and 3361.14 tonha-1yr-1 respectively. The results show that the study area is experiencing an increased trend of soil loss. This result can serve as guide into understanding the past and current rate of soil loss for soil resource planning and management
