The Communications Director to the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2028 presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has revealed that he lost virtually all his belongings after floodwaters swept through his home during the recent floods.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile programme on Saturday, July 4, Mr. Aboagye described the destruction as devastating, saying his family has been left with nothing and must now rebuild from scratch.
“I lost everything, and I have nothing in my house. The house is empty, and we need to start everything again,” he said.
He explained that the force of the floodwaters was so powerful that it broke through the main gate of his house, underscoring the severity of the flooding.
“As a matter of fact, the water broke the main gate, and if the water was able to break the main gate, it should tell you the strength of the water,” he stated.
Mr. Aboagye’s account comes in the aftermath of the torrential rains that triggered widespread flooding across parts of Accra and several other communities.
The floods submerged homes, businesses, roads and public infrastructure, displaced thousands of residents, disrupted transportation and destroyed properties. The disaster also prompted emergency rescue and relief operations involving the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), the Ghana Armed Forces, the Ghana National Fire Service and the Ghana Police Service.
Authorities continue to assess the full extent of the damage while providing relief and support to affected communities across the country.
