Devastating Flood: Man found dead on Kasoa-Accra highway

A man, believed to be in his 30s, was discovered dead on the Kasoa–Accra Highway in the SCC area following the heavy rainfall on Monday.

The body was found early on Tuesday morning, June 30, 2026, positioned in the centre of the road.

The cause of death and the specific circumstances surrounding the incident are still unclear. The police have initiated an investigation into the case.

This comes after the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) confirmed that at least 12 people have died, while nearly 500 others have been rescued after severe flooding swept through several communities in the Greater Accra Region following Monday’s heavy rains.

Speaking in an interview on Tuesday, June 30, GNFS Public Relations Team member Alex King Nartey said firefighters and emergency responders have been working tirelessly since the floods began on Sunday, carrying out rescue operations in some of the worst-affected areas.

According to Mr. Nartey, almost 500 people were rescued between Sunday and Monday.

He said about 105 residents were rescued from Tse Addo, while nearly 300 others were evacuated from the Odawna area.

Rescue teams also responded to emergencies in Dome, Kwabenya, Adenta, Anyaa and Ablekuma, where rising floodwaters trapped residents in their homes and communities.

“Unfortunately, we lost about 12 people. That’s the number that I can confirm,” Mr. Nartey added.
