How goat saved Adane Best's life during deadly flood
Joseph Amoah, known as Adane Best, shared an account of escaping death during a severe flood incident more than two decades ago while at Chorkor. He decided to leave his room for safety as the situation worsened, but paused to let a goat pass first. As soon as the goat stepped into a waterlogged area in front of his room, it was instantly electrocuted and died on the spot. Adane Best reflected that if he had stepped forward first, he might have suffered the same fate.
The musician said the incident made him realize the level of danger he had been in, adding that he believes the moment was a divine intervention that saved his life. The incident is linked in memory to devastating floods experienced in parts of Accra in 2001, where residents were forced to seek safety on rooftops and trees during severe downpours. Scores died in that incident, recording it as one of the deadliest flooding situations the country has experienced.
