A heavy downpour in Ghana’s capital Wednesday left thousands stranded. The rains, which fell for well over three hours caused heavy vehicular traffic.
While most parts of the capital including the Nkrumah Circle has been declared a “no go area’, several residential and office buildings have been left wrecked.
A Producer for Kasapa FM‘s morning show, Kojo Preko Dankwa, tells us he’s been stuck at one place for close to two and a half hours.
“No car is moving.”
Real time updates on social media, paints a worrying situation.
Do not come anywhere near Circle!
