were ripped off at Agona Kwesitwikrom and Agona Nyasakyere
when a severe rainstorm hit the two-sister towns on Sunday.
Mr Albert Quainoo, Assemblyman for the Area, who disclosed

Ghana News Agency in a telephone interview said four people
who sustained
minor injuries were treated and discharged at Agona Kwanyako
Clinic.
He said about 300 people, who rendered homeless are putting
up with relatives, while others are staying in the local
Methodist Church and New Apostolic Church buildings.
The Assemblyman told GNA that the rainstorm lasted for more
than three hours.
He said the most affected include some private houses,
African Faith Tabernacle Church and the SDA church.
Mr Quainoo stated that the rainstorm uprooted some trees
planted at the vantage points of the two towns and destroyed
