Some residents who spoke to Citi News said the floods are regular occurrences in their area as they complain that an estate developer has built-in a waterway, forcing the rain waters to flood their homes.

At Adabraka, Nii Ayikwei Okine reported that many residents in the Sahara area have been left stranded on the streets after floodwaters took over their places of abode.

 

He said the Odaw river has broken its banks, flowing through the Sahara park and adjoining communities.

The Ghana Meteorological Agency has already forecast heavy rains across the country throughout the weekend.
