At the A&C Mall, a carport solar panel collapsed destroying several cars.

The actor-turned-politician who became MP after beating the New Patriotic Party's Lydia Seyram Alhassan in last year's elections issued a statement on social media saying,
"Yesterday, I assessed some of the areas affected by the devastating rainstorm in Ayawaso West Wuogon which uprooted trees at GIMPA/Legon and caused structural damage at A&C Mall and Accra Training college. I am in consultation with stakeholders to explore ways to support recovery and rebuilding efforts."

After John Dumelo's promise to follow up on the matter, a release from A&C Mall assuring victims that their insurers will cover the necessary repair costs was published by Citi FM. It read,
