[contextly_sidebar id=”NcvpGHtrB2qoW7nbaJgutfQ8kwLMQ3Qe”]The Central Regional Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Sandy Amartey, who confirmed this to Citi News<\/strong> said the deaths were recorded over a period but not as a result of the flooding.<\/p>\n

According to him, “People died during this rainy season but it’s not a matter of the flooding situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Amatey, had already revealed to Citi News<\/strong> that that the first recorded deaths involved two children, aged three and one, who drowned in a pond around their residence at\u00a0Wenge, a community within the Gomoa East district.<\/p>\n

The other three deaths occurred when a wall, weakened by the heavy rains, fell on three persons at Kissi Kwahenkrom in KEEA. The fatalities in this incident were two middle-aged women and an eight-year-old-girl, who died after the wall collapsed on them.<\/p>\n

Mr. Amatey also noted that three boys drowned in the region, two in Swedru. A young boy was also electrocuted in the township of Amamoma.<\/p>\n

A 15-year-old Junior high school student was also in her room when a wall collapsed on her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also had a situation where two boys got drowned in one of the rivers at Swedru. Also there was the death of a young boy of about 9 who was electrocuted at Amamoma…\u00a0We also had a situation of a 15-year old girl who was returning from her BECE exams sleeping in her room when a wall collapsed on her.\u201d<\/p>\n
