Parts of Accra flood after heavy rains

A heavy downpour on Sunday, May 18, 2025, led to severe flooding in several places in the capital city of Ghana, Greater Accra.

Some of the flooded areas included the Ofankor Barrier stretch of the N1 Highway in Accra, Lakeside estate, Mile 7 roundabout, Redco Flats, Madina, parts of the Adenta–Dodowa road, among others.

The floods have caused major traffic congestion and left numerous pedestrians stranded. In places like Ofankor Barrier, for instance, vehicles and pedestrians came to a standstill.

In some places, traffic has been diverted, while others have packed their cars waiting for the rains to stop.

Netizens who saw the video expressed mixed reactions in the comments section of the now-viral post. Many wondered how the area boys were going to eat.
