A severe rainstorm, accompanied by heavy winds, has caused significant damage in the Ofosu community of Nkwanta South in the Oti Region, leaving one person injured.
The storm struck unexpectedly on Wednesday afternoon, catching residents off guard and leading to chaos as strong gusts of wind tore through the area.
Several structures, including classrooms at the Ofosu M/A Basic School, were severely damaged, with roofs ripped off and windows shattered.
Many residents have been displaced, and essential services have been disrupted.
Christian Ahiavi, the headteacher of Ofosu M/A Basic School, who witnessed the storm firsthand, expressed his shock and fear.

He has called on the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), the Nkwanta South assembly, and well-meaning individuals to offer urgent assistance.
