General News of Sunday, 5 June 2022Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) predicted that there will be heavy rainfall in the southern part of Ghana and true to their predictions there was rainstorm in Accra. As usual, the rains in Accra led to several parts of the nation’s capital town flooding, causing a lot of destruction and impeding the movement of vehicles. At the Airport area around Nyaho Hospital, the rushing flood waters made it impossible for vehicles particularly small ones to move. At Ogbojo a suburb of Madina, the main road and some stores around it were flooded. Floods have become very common in many parts of the country, in Greater Accra especially, following torrential rains that began in May.
