Heavy rains that began late on Sunday, June 28, and continued into the morning of Monday, June 29, 2026, have triggered widespread flooding in Kasoa and surrounding areas in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region, leaving major roads submerged and disrupting traffic flow.
Three major roads linking Kasoa Township have been cut off after the Okrudu River overflowed its banks, affecting movement in and out of the area.
Reports indicate that 9 out of 13 electoral areas have been affected by flooding, causing significant disruption and leaving thousands of homes inundated.
Motorists and commuters have been stranded, with some vehicles unable to navigate flooded sections of the road network. In some areas, youth were reportedly charging between GH₵10 and GH₵50 to help commuters cross waterlogged stretches.
Some residents who spoke to Adom News called for urgent intervention to prevent a repeat of such incidents.
Meanwhile, residents are calling on the Kasoa Municipal Chief Executive, Seth Banini, and the MP for the area, Naa Koryoo Okunor, to urgently dredge the Okrudu River and improve drainage systems to address the recurring flooding situation.
The downpour, which lasted several hours, severely affected Monday morning movement, leaving residents struggling to commute to work and school amid waterlogged streets and heavy traffic congestion.
