A violent windstorm struck Wiae, a community in the Kpandai District of the Northern Region, on Thursday evening, causing widespread destruction.

The storm, which lasted nearly 30 minutes, damaged homes, shops, and school buildings, leading to property losses worth thousands of cedis.

During a visit to the affected areas, including Wiae and Buya, Adom News’ Odehyeba Owusu Job witnessed the extensive damage firsthand.

At Buya Basic School, the storm tore off classroom roofs, leaving students and teachers stranded and disrupting academic activities.

Distressed residents recounted their losses and called for urgent assistance from their Member of Parliament, Hon. Mathew Nyindam, as well as the government, NGOs, and other stakeholders.

Authorities Assure Support
Speaking on behalf of the MP, NPP Kpandai Constituency Chairman, Mr. Kennedy Gyato, assured the affected communities that their concerns would be relayed for prompt intervention.

He also appealed to charitable organizations and government agencies to provide immediate relief to those impacted.

Despite the severe destruction, no casualties have been reported.
