Parts of Accra saw large swamps of running water on roads following almost an hour of downpour on Friday.
In some areas like the Tema Motorway, Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, Kaneshie, North Kaneshie, Alajo, Adabraka, Accra Central, Tema, Tema station-Accra, Osu, and others were all heavily affected after close to an hour of rainfall.
Reports suggest that the flood water has left many houses and cars submerged and drains carrying running water were overflown, while some potholes on roads were enlarged and deepened.
Videos and comments about the situation and its attending impacts went viral on social media, with many users calling on the government to initiate measures to address the age long problem.
The recurring situation, which has left many houses and cars submerged, is largely attributed to the underflow of the Odaw River due to pollution with garbage, plastics, and human excreta.
