A 54-year-old mother, Akosua Sawo and her eight-year-old daughter, Grace Sawo have drowned after a deluge of flood water swept their home at Akanteng in the Lower West Akyem Municipality of the Eastern Region Tuesday Evening.
A joint operation team of NADMO, Police and the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) accompanied by the Member of Parliament for the area, Eyiah Kyei Barfuor and the MCE, Seth Oduro Boadu retrieved the lifeless bodies Wednesday morning from the swamp.
Confirming the incident, the Municipal Director of NADMO, Kwasi Addo Annor attributed the flooding to activities of some illegal miners in the area, who diverted a major river in the area from its natural path leading to the flooding of homes whenever it rains.
Tuesday’s flooding, he said affected many homes, displacing hundreds in five communities namely Akanteng, Estate, First Stop, Brekumanso and Awaham.
