The rains on June 3, 2026, had flooded the house and entered the rooms in the compound, including his room, where his belongings were destroyed.
In a video, the young man was seated at the entrance to his room, seemingly trying to push out the water and prevent more damage to his personal items.
However, his efforts were in vain, leaving him seated at the entrance of his room in tears.
At one point, he showed what his room looked like due to the flood, with his bag and other things, which were on the floor, waterlogged and ruined.
He counted his losses as the water kept entering his room, looking helpless and hurt by the destruction brought about by the flooding in Accra.
