Four Communities Washed Away By Flood In The Northern Region

Communities in the west Mamprusi municipality of the Northern Region woke up to a horrendous morning, as their homes are covered with floods, due to a pressure from a downpour on Wednesday night, which led to the damages of a Dam in the village.

Livestock,foodstuffs and other properties has been washed away by the flood,causing fear and panic in the residents.

Reports tell that “This is the second time the project at Guabuliga has broken its boundary to cause flooding in Dimia”.

Speaking in an interview with 3newsgh, monitored by Ghanaarticles.com,  the frustrated Municipal Chief Executive of West Mamprusi, Arimeyaw Somo Lucky, made known of some actions he has taken after the incident.

He said “We’ve been saddened today by the havoc this rainfall has caused which has resulted in the spillage of these dams, all the house has collapsed and nothing have been rescued by the people.

“I’ve spoken with the regional minister and the regional NADMO director to come to our aid, because the people are suffering” he added.

Meanwhile, the two main political parties, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are helping with tracks and pick-ups to transport the people to Walewale.

Some of the residents are trying their best to prevent the water from flooding other communities by using axes to cut through the road.
