The District Chief Executive of Keta Municipality, Sylvester Tonyava, has revealed that nearly\u00a0two-thirds of Keta has been overtaken by the sea.<\/p>\n

Scores of residents were affected by tidal waves in Fuveme in the Keta Municipality of the Volta Region\u00a0compelling them to flee from their homes.<\/p>\n

The waves, which started displacing residents in the late hours of Sunday, were said to have carried away livestock and\u00a0other belongings of residents.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”r8MsbvYa4eTGOa5jg8zoJmGQBPNuczqh”]Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong>, the DCE noted that this was the fourth time people had been displaced by tidal waves in the Keta municipality this year.<\/p>\n

Over five hundred people were affected and hundred and fifty houses destroyed.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019More than two third of Keta has gone into the sea and what is left now is just skeletal because Keta once upon a time served as the capital of the southern province here and it was a busy commercial center but today it\u2019s nothing to write home about.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The DCE added that human activities along the coast can be blamed for the situation. He pleaded with government to protect Keta instead of asking the residents to relocate.<\/p>\n

The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) is currently in Keta to assess the damage before they can support the victims.<\/p>\n
