Accra devastated by floods
Many parts of Ghana’s capital, Accra, was devastated by floods following one hour of rain on Thursday evening.
The situation made it very difficult for some motorists to continue their journeys due to the pressure of the flood waters on highways.
Residents in areas including Adabraka-Sahara in the capital, were left frustrated as they spent several hours into midnight salvaging their properties and scooping out rainwater that had flooded their houses.
Some residents told Citi News that they had no option than to leave the area and search for safe grounds.
The aftermath of the downpour left pools of water on some major roads including the Abeka Junction section of the Achimota-Accra road, Mallam Junction, as well as the Okponglo section of the Madina-37 highway.
