We lost 10 lives to the floods – NADMO
Ten people lost their lives following last Monday’s floods.
According to the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), the 10 were from the Central, Volta and Greater Accra Regions.
“We’ve lost ten lives across the country. If I say across the country meaning Greater Accra, Volta and Central Region,” Deputy Director-General of NADMO, Abu Ramadan, disclosed on Citi TV’s Morning Show, The Point of View.
He said six people died in Accra, three in the Volta Region and one in the Central Region.
He noted that the worst affected areas were Teshie and Kisseman, all in Accra.
“Where we had the worst cases were around the Teshie and Kisseman-Dome-Kwabenya areas. The damage was huge,” Abu Ramadan said, adding that a lot of properties were also destroyed by the flood.
Mr. Ramadan also said one woman died in Teshie while two others got drowned in Kisseman during the downpour.
“In Kisseman for instance, a woman got stacked on a tree for close to three hours because we couldn’t even get to where she was because of the currents and level of water. Our boats even couldn’t power itself there because of the level and the currents of the water,” he added.
