The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has revealed that more than 3,000 persons have been displaced after tidal waves swept through their homes in the Ada East and West districts of the Greater Accra Region on Sunday.

Per reports received by NADMO, the disaster also destroyed more about 251 households in four communities, including Lolonya, Agblabanya and Anyamam.

Speaking in an interview on Prime Morning, Wednesday, the Communications Director of NADMO, George Ayisi, said the degree of damage caused by the waves was “very bad.”

According to him, although some victims have been given temporary shelter, the residents of these affected towns must consider relocating or a sea defence walls must be immediately constructed to salvage the situation.

“Per initial reports that we had, we were told that Agblabanya was nearly split into two…the proximity of the people’s residence to the coastline is also something that is a bit worrying and it’s understandable [because] they involved in salt mining and fishing.
