3 People Perish in a Flood Tragedy in Accra Ghana

In Ghana, the death toll from the devastating floods that struck Alajo in Accra following Monday's torrential rains has risen to three, with the victims reportedly dying from electrocution after floodwaters inundated their homes.

Alajo is one of the communities worst affected by the heavy rains that began on Sunday night and continued into Monday morning, inundating large parts of Accra.

The flooding has submerged major roads, homes and businesses, severely disrupting the Monday morning rush hour.

The Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) have temporarily shut down power supply from the Mallam and Achimota primary substations as a precautionary measure following flooding at those facilities.

A short while later, another death was confirmed, bringing the total number of flood-related fatalities in Alajo to three.

Some reports have suggested a possible fourth casualty, though this has not been independently confirmed.
