Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon, John Dumelo, broke his silence on the March 25 downpour in Accra, which uprooted structures and caused havoc across the capital.

Several streets were flooded, making many pedestrians and road users fear for their safety. Trees, billboards, and other forms of signage were also felled by the storm in parts of Accra.

At the A&C Mall, a carport solar panel collapsed, destroying several cars. The A&C Mall, one of the most patronised business centres in Accra, falls under John Dumelo's Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency.

The actor-turned-politician, in a post on X about the incident, said:

"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."
