A powerful windstorm that lasted for nearly 30 minutes on Thursday evening wreaked havoc in Wiae, a suburb of the Kpandai District in the Northern Region.
Several homes, stores and school buildings were severely affected, with properties worth thousands of cedis damaged.
During Adom News’ Odehyeba Owusu Job’s visit to the affected areas, including Wiae and Buya, residents recounted the devastating impact of the storm.
At Buya Basic School, the storm ripped off the roofs of classroom blocks, leaving both students and teachers stranded.
Many expressed concern over their losses and appealed to the Member of Parliament for the constituency, Hon. Mathew Nyindam, as well as the government, NGOs, and other stakeholders, to provide immediate relief and support.
The NPP Constituency Chairman for Kpandai, Mr. Kennedy Gyato, speaking on behalf of the MP, assured residents that their concerns would be relayed for urgent attention.
He also called on benevolent organizations and the government to assist those affected.
Despite the extensive damage, no casualties were recorded.
