The Greater Accra Regional branch of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has confirmed the death of a middle-aged male resident in Alajo following the heavy rains.
Regional NADMO Director, Dennis Ajanor Nartey, disclosed on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM that the victim was initially pulled to safety by emergency workers.
However, the resident defied official advice and returned to his flooded room to retrieve his television, where he was subsequently electrocuted.
Describing the incident as tragic, Nartey extended condolences to the bereaved family while strongly admonishing the public to comply with safety directives during emergencies.
He added that all other individuals previously trapped in their homes have been successfully rescued and relocated to safe havens.
