A devastating rainstorm has caused widespread destruction in Apremadi, a community in the Asutifi South District of the Ahafo Region, leaving many residents homeless and damaging properties.
According to affected residents who spoke to media, the storm began around 6:30 p.m. and lasted for several hours, tearing off roofs and exposing homes to heavy rains. Many belongings were soaked, and some homes were rendered uninhabitable.
Floodwaters further worsened the situation, submerging several houses and leaving families stranded. Residents are appealing to the government, their Member of Parliament, Alhaji Collins Dauda, and other benevolent individuals for urgent support to rebuild their homes.
Teachers and pupils in the community were also affected, as the storm ripped off the roof of the teachers’ quarters, causing part of the structure to collapse and destroying essential documents and personal belongings. The school building also suffered extensive damage, raising safety concerns for students and staff.
With many now counting their losses, residents are anxiously awaiting intervention to help restore their lives.
