The people of Akim Oda in the Birim Central Municipality of Eastern region were on Monday hit by a devastating rain storm which ripped off large portions of their houses and displaced scores of people.
The extent of damage caused by the storms has been described by several people and disaster management officials as the first in recorded history in the municipality.
A preliminary assessment conducted by the Municipal National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) indicates that the storm fell a lot of big trees, including the mast of the local Ofie FM radio station and ripped off roofing sheets of school buildings, churches and mosques.
