42 houses, 6 light poles and a school block were affected at Ahembroniso, whereas areas such as Sansama, Ahenfie, Anyinabrem, Abanimu and other suburbs of the Techiman South Municipality were greatly affected by the rain.
Some residents who spoke to this portal disclosed that they may lose their farm produce as they fear they cannot transport the foodstuff from their farms to marketplaces.
Meanwhile, the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) Director for Techiman South, Mr Eric Aseidu, says one Mr Yussif Issaka met his untimely death due to the heavy downpour.
He however applauded the Techiman Municipal Fire Command for their yeoman’s work as they made two separate rescues in the midst of the downpour.
