He told Accra-based Joy FM that the Assembly will make sure the coconut trees are cut down to prevent any eventuality.

Some of the residents said the coconut trees have punched holes in their roofs, a challenge they’ve been facing for the last 10 years.

They said, despite the risky state of the trees, their owners have turned deaf ears to their complaints.

Madam Aishetu Seidu said she lost a family member who was hit by a falling coconut fruit, with the said relative suffering serious head injuries.

The residents, she said, had no other option than to report the issue to the Ayawaso North Municipal Assembly for action to be taken.
