Two children have been reportedly swept away by floodwater at Babadongo near Bortianor in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region
The unfortunate incident occurred during the downpour on the dawn of Tuesday, March 7, 2023.
The victims, an 11-year-old girl, and a nine-year-old boy were escaping the flash waters that had entered their house after the bridge in the area overflowed, flooding the entire area.
However, in their attempt to cross, the children were carried away by the rapid water flow.
Their father reportedly attempted to save his children to no avail.
After residents mounted a search, the bodies of the children were found about a mile away from their house.
This has thrown the residents into a state of mourning.
The heavy rain across the country on Tuesday has resulted in flooding in many areas.
Many areas in Accra are flooded making movement difficult for motorists and commuters.
