According to reports, a 37-year-old man died at Jacobu in the Amansie Central District of the Ashanti during a strong downpour that also caused other buildings to fall.
The dead, Kwabena Emma, was carried away by a severe flood on Sunday, April 21, 2024, according to locals.
Residents who spoke with Ghanatodayonline.com reporter Jacob Agyenim Boateng said that the dead was seeking cover in front of a shop, but that after hours of nonstop rain, they made the decision to return home.
They also mentioned Kwabena Emma, who is believed to have been drunk at the time, drowned while traveling home after falling into a large gutter nearby.
The technical block at Jacobu Senior High Technical School’s roofing was also damaged by the downpour.
Additionally, it is said that hundreds of kids were seen during the flooding of the school’s male dormitories.
In an interview with Ghanatodayonline.com, District Chief Executive for Amansie Central, Hon. Micheal Donkor, called the state of affairs disturbing.
He reassured the impacted parties, especially the school, of the Assembly’s support. He did, however, urge charitable organizations and people to assist the Assembly in its efforts to get aid for the impacted pupils.
