Three confirmed dead by electrocution during last Monday's rains


Three people have died at Sokpoe in the Volta Region after they were electrocuted during last Monday's rains. 

The deceased have been identified as Yaa Gayi and her two grandchildren, Elolo Dofey and Morkporkpor Dofey. 

They were electrocuted by a live-wire whose insulation had peeled off. The Assembly member for the area, George Asafo, who confirmed the incident said the three were looking for shelter after the rains ripped off their roofs.  

Rains on Monday evening ravaged parts of the country especially the Greater Accra Region where several places were flooded.  

Some of the hardest-hit areas were Odawna, Kwame Nkrumah Circle, Adabraka, Oyibi and Mankessim in the Central Region. Access to healthcare at the Mankessim Jubilee Hospital also came to a halt as the entrance to the facility was cut off by flood.
