A 50-year-old farmer drowned in the White Volta at Yama, a farming community in the West Mamprusi Municipality of the North East Region, on Monday, August 25, 2025.
The incident occurred while the deceased, identified as Baba Takwara, was working with 10 other men to salvage his crops cultivated along the White Volta in anticipation of flooding from the spillage of the Bagre Dam.
He left his colleagues to fetch water from the White Volta with a gallon but failed to return, prompting a search that led to the discovery of the gallon floating on the river.
Unfortunately, his body was later found, and it was retrieved.
The body has since been buried in accordance with Islamic traditions.
