Member of Parliament John Dumelo has assured residents that power should be restored by the evening of Thursday, March 27, 2025. He stated that the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) was actively working to fix the issue.

The rainstorm caused widespread damage in several parts of Accra, including Adenta, Madina, Legon, and East Legon. One of the most severe incidents was the collapse of the car park at A&C Mall in East Legon, which crushed over 80 vehicles.

In addition to the collapsed structure, strong winds uprooted trees and knocked down billboards in various parts of the city, causing roadblocks and heavy traffic.

Some educational institutions also suffered damage. A tree fell on the administration block of the Accra College of Education, while at Kotobabi, a tree crashed onto a vehicle near the police station, injuring one person.

Officials from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and the Ghana Police Service responded quickly to clear the debris and ensure public safety.

The Deputy Agriculture Minister has been swift in his response to the plight of members of his constituency and assured them in his video message that he was there for them.
