Following heavy rainfall on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, several areas in Accra have experienced severe flooding, including parts of Asylum Down.

A video shared by GhOne TV on their X page and observed by GhanaWeb shows portions of Asylum Down, a suburb in Accra, submerged underwater.

The torrential downpour has resulted in flooding of some houses in the area, prompting residents to evacuate and seek assistance.

Residents attribute the flooding to the inadequate drainage system in the area, which they have long sought to address without success.

The poor drainage system in various parts of Accra has been a persistent issue, exacerbating flooding during heavy rainfall.

Despite repeated calls for government intervention, it remains unclear what measures will be implemented to address the problem.
