A rainstorm which hit Akyem Oda in the Birim Central Municipality in the Eastern Region last Monday and destroyed more than 300 dwellings, as well as buildings belonging to 10 educational institutions, has been described as the worst to hit the municipality in recent times.
The rainstorm lasted about two hours, following which over 1,000 people were rendered homeless and property worth millions of cedis destroyed.
Among items destroyed were clothing, television sets, gas cookers, musical instruments, refrigerators, electric fans, furniture, mattresses, books and computers.
Others were school registers and log books, electric poles and cables and metal containers.
