The National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) Director for the Yilo Krobo Municipality has confirmed that there have been about five casualties after violent windstorm hit Somanya in the Eastern Region, Monday.  

According to Michael Jackson Bruku, the victims sustained minor injuries and have been treated and discharged at the Somanya Polyclinic.

“We received a distress call that the storm has caused a tree to fall onto the highway leading to Kpong,” the NADMO Director recounted.

“So we are here to salvage the situation to enable accessibility to and from the town,” he added.

The violent storm hit the Somanya township around 3:00pm, the NADMO boss said on JoyNews Prime.

The storm roofed off and destroyed the building housing the Somanya branch of Barclays Bank.
