Twelve deaths recorded in Accra floods

Eleven deaths have so far been recorded by the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) following the floods that hit parts of Accra in the early hours of Wednesday, October 26.

One more body, bloated, was found floating in the Odawna River Friday, two days after the devastating flood unleashed havoc in the city of Accra.

Three of the deaths were recorded at Adabraka Sahara, two each at
Amanfrom on the Kasoa road, Anyaa Pala Town, Achimota and one each at
Avenor and Insakanaa in Ga South District.

Houses and bridges collapsed whilst drains over flowed its banks in one of the worst floods to have hit the capital in recent times.

Nine people were initially reported dead including a 25 year old marketing student of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Abigail Opoku Adjei.

Meanwhile, the body retrieved at the Odawna river is yet to be identified.
