According to the sources, essential land documents have also been “mixed up” as a result of the destruction caused by the flood.
On Saturday, places such as Kaneshie, Alajo, parts of Tema, and Adabraka were among the areas that got flooded.
Residents of the affected areas were compelled to evacuate their homes for safety as flood water made its way into their rooms, some of which lost their belongings.
Videos circulating on social media show roads within the capital getting submerged, making vehicular movement difficult and risky.
