Volta Region: 5 Districts Heavily Affected By Akosombo Dam spillage

Thousands of residents in several community in five Districts in the Volta Region have been heavily affected by the Akosombo Dam spillage.

The Akosombo Dam spillage has caused widespread flooding in the North Tongu, Central Tongu, South Tongu, Keta and Anlo districts, displacing thousands of people and destroying homes and businesses.

According to reports, the spillage of the dam was due to the consistent rise in the water level of the two dams as a result of the continuous rains recently.

The Volta River Authority in September cautioned residents downstream of Akosombo and Kpong dams to be alert and take precautionary measures following a controlled spillage in the coming days.

However, some affected residents InsiderGH.com interacted with noted that the information about the spillage was not well communicated and the most of them were not even aware of anything of that sort.

Most of the residents who said they lost their properties are currently homeless and appealing to the government to come to their aid.
