A severe rainstorm that swept through Accra on Tuesday, March 25, caused significant damage in multiple areas, leaving one person injured and various structures impacted.

A tree fell on a vehicle in front of the Kotobabi Police Station, sending the driver to the Police Hospital for treatment.

The individual is said to be receiving medical care, though there is no update on their condition.

At the A&C Mall in East Legon, the storm brought down a solar panel car park shed, damaging more than 50 vehicles.

The rainstorm also wreaked havoc at the Accra College of Education, where several buildings were affected. Part of a newly constructed washroom facility was damaged, and flooding in the dormitories led to students losing personal items.

Eric Kwasi Azong, the SRC President of Accra College of Education, shared his account of the damage

“We had some of the rain entering into some of the dormitories and then had to flood the dormitories which caused a lot of inconvenience to the students. As well as some of the roofs on some of the lecturers’ bungalows were taken off and then some carpenters are on site trying to fix the situation.”

Despite the extensive damage, there have been no fatalities reported. Authorities and repair teams are working to assess the full extent of the destruction and begin the necessary repairs.
