Tidal waves have hit parts of the Volta, Greater Accra and the Central Regions regions just as happened last year. Pictures and videos of homes inundated with seawater in places like Agavedzi in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region as well as Aklabanya in the Ada West District of the Greater Accra Region have started circulating on social media in relation to the latest disaster. Scores of people have been displaced by the waves. Some of the local residents could be seen walking through the seawater that flooded their homes and villages. Just about four months ago, a similar disaster displaced thousands of residents in the Keta Municipality.
Tidal waves hit Central Region
About eight houses along the beach of Brenu Akyinim in the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem Municipality of the Central Region have been destroyed by tidal waves, rendering over 40 people homeless. Other communities including Ayensudo were also affected by the high tide. Affected residents have called on the government to attend to their plight by constructing a sea defense wall for the affected communities.

“For the past few days, the residents of Brenu Akyinim that live closer to the sea have never slept. This is because there has been a greater and maximum increase of the tidal waves,” he said.
