Hundreds stranded after the Weija Dam water spillage

Hundreds of suburban homes across the Weija-Gbawe municipality have been completely submerged under heavy torrents following an emergency, controlled spillage of the Weija Dam.

GWCL authorised the opening of all major spill gates after the dam’s reservoir water levels aggressively scaled past the 48-foot critical safety threshold, threatening a catastrophic structural breach.

The massive, high-velocity discharge has left thousands of citizens completely displaced, cut off primary transit corridors, and triggered a full-scale humanitarian response across the Ga South enclave.
