Residents of Gaagbini, Dimia, Tinkaya, and Banawa in the West Mamprusi municipality of the North East Region woke up to a tragic morning as their homes were submerged in floods as a One-Village One-Dam project in Guabuliga broke its boundary due to pressure from a downpour on Wednesday night.
At about 5:25 am Thursday, October 1, two local dams in Diani and Guabulilga, instantaneously overflew their boundaries overtaking Gaagbini, Dimia, Tinkaya, and Banawa communities.
The Gaagbini community was the first to submerge with close to 15 houses falling flat to the ground.
