On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, most areas in Accra, the capital city of Ghana, experienced severe flooding due to torrential rain.
Many Ghanaians were left stranded in town, with several properties damaged.
A storey building collapsed in Adenta due to the heavy downpour, leaving several people trapped and an individual passing away.
The incidents happened on the 11th anniversary of the June 3, 2015 disaster, which saw an estimated 150 people die from a gas explosion and flooding.
Among the victims of the recent floods was Onua TV personality Afia Tagor, whose home was affected.
Footage on Onua TV's "Onua Maakye" show showed the TV presenter's residence and entire community completely flooded and inaccessible.
Several parked vehicles at the residence appeared to have been covered by water.
The flooded roads also made it impossible for residents in the community to step outside or travel.
Afia Tagor speaks after flooding at home
Speaking in a phone conversation on the Onua TV morning show, Afia Tagor noted that she and her family were in a better condition despite the floods.
She noted that her entire community had been affected by the floods, affecting their movements and disrupting daily activities.
She said:
"I can say that I am doing well. The current situation is not good, and I would not wish it on anyone. By God's grace, everybody is doing well. My children could not go to school today, and I am not sure they are the only ones who won't go today."
"In this area, nobody can go to work today. None of the children can go to school today because the area has been entirely flooded. Everybody's car has been swallowed by water. Everyone's car is in water. It is not easy at all."
