About 500 people have been displaced following floods caused by heavy and intermittent rains on Monday, which also submerged the Kpetoe bridge on the Ho–Denu highway.
As of the early hours of Tuesday, June 30, 2026, the swelling Tordze River was flowing rapidly above the bridge, bringing vehicular movement to a halt.
Many houses have been flooded, with widespread destruction to farms and livestock reported in the area.
The Agotime Ziope District Director of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Courage Agba, told Graphic Online that no human casualties had been recorded in the deluge.
Mr Agba said the worst affected areas in the town include Agorve, Aborme, Asito, Afetor Yesu Kope, Unity Club, and nearby Kpekuita.
A rescue team from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) is in the area to assist flood victims.
The floods have brought every economic activity in Kpetoe to a standstill, with most residents counting their losses.
