Confirming the incident on a local radio station Wonder Matthew said “I was told he [the deceased], was going to the timber market to get wood. He was outside when the thunder struck, so it was the thunder that struck him down and killed him. We are trying to get in contact with his family and see how best we can go about it. Only two people are still on admission out of the 200 who were initially admitted for treatment.”
Wonder Matthew called on the Meteorological Agency to inform the general public of such downpours on time to prevent a situation where people are not caught up in it.
The students of the Amanfrom community who have also been affected by the downpour have called on the government to fix their roofs which were removed by the rain.
