Some residents pleaded with the government and other philanthropists to come to their aid.
Ms. Akua Nimo, about 80years old woman who spoke with the Evening Mail stated that her entire building had collapsed and is currently perching at a family member’s house. She pleaded with philanthropist to come to her aid.
Food items were also not spurred by the angry storm as farm produce were brought down by the storm.
The National Disaster and Management Organisation has however visited the community and assured them of getting them some relief items.
The MP for Akropong constituency, Nana Ama Dokua, has also donated some roofing sheet to the Chief of Okorase to be used to re-roof the schools immediately for academic works to continue.
