Military Appeals for Public Coorperation As Nationwide Flood Cleanup Begins
The Ghana Armed Forces appealed to residents in flood-hit areas to cooperate fully with security personnel and engineering teams as a nationwide cleanup and demobilisation exercise got underway, following floods that killed dozens of people in Accra on June 28, 2026. Brigadier General Okae-Yeboah, Director General of Joint Operations at the Ghana Armed Forces, stated that owners and occupiers of structures within waterways, drainage reservations, and other environmentally sensitive areas were being urged to cooperate. He confirmed that structures obstructing waterways would be pulled down where necessary.
The floods affected seven regions nationwide, with Greater Accra, Central Region, and Volta Region being the worst hit. Brigadier General Okae-Yeboah briefed journalists at the Jubilee House, noting that security agencies were being mobilised to augment ongoing operations. Residents should expect temporary traffic diversions and restricted access in some areas. He said, "This is not an event, it's a process," indicating the exercise would take time.
