The storm, which struck on Saturday night, also damaged several structures in the Navrongo municipality, causing chaos and raising significant safety concerns among residents.
The collapse of the power lines has left live wires exposed, posing a serious risk to public safety.
While no injuries have been reported, the emotional toll and disruption to livelihoods are evident. A key road connecting the Saboro Dam to the main Kajelo route, and serving as the primary access to the Awe Junior and Senior High Technical Schools, has been blocked by a large tree brought down by the storm.
Residents, including schoolchildren and traders who rely heavily on this road, have expressed frustration over the disruption.
Community members are urgently appealing to the relevant authorities, including the Municipal Assembly and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), to respond swiftly by clearing debris, restoring power, and ensuring the safety of the affected areas.
