Otoase (E/R), April 29, GNA – A rainstorm at the weekend rendered about 100 people homeless at three communities in the Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region, completely destroying classes 1, 2, and 3 structures of the Otoase D/A Primary School.
Mr. Andrews Asante, the Government appointee to the Ayensuano District Assembly, said but for the ‘COVID-19 stay home directive,’ the School would have been in session and the pupils and their teachers would not have been spared as the storm occurred during contact hours.
The storm ripped off 30 houses in communities, namely; Owusukrom, Otuase and Ayibontey, but no casualty was recorded, Mr. Asante said in an interview with the Ghana News Agency.
He appealed to the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) to support the victims, who are now staying with friends and relatives.
Mr. Lawrence Mottey, the Assembly Member of Marfokrom Electoral Area, also told the GNA that five houses were ripped off at Marfokrom and Awereso all in the District and also appealed to NADMO for assistance.
