A Chinese national believed to be in his 40s has been found dead at Asutsuare in the Shai Osudoku district of the Greater Accra region.
Jonathan Kwablah, the Assemblyman of the area suspects the deceased was fishing when he was swept away by the water coming from the spillage of the Akosombo dam
Mr Kwablah said the body was already decomposing when it was discovered at the dam.
The Volta River Authority (VRA) is conducting this spillage due to a “consistent rise in the inflow pattern and water level of the Akosombo dam.”
Those who said they lost their properties are currently homeless and appealing to the government to come to their aid.
On September 12, the VRA said it had duly notified its key stakeholders of this development.
But the residents living close to the river have been packing out what they can salvage while others who have their property swept away are crying for help.
