Thousands displaced after Weija dam spillage (Video)
Over one thousand people at Weija and its environs in the Weija/Gbawe Constituency have been displaced following the spillage of the Weija dam by the Ghana Water Company.
According to many of the affected residents, they were not given any prior notice before the spillage by the GWCL which is meant to release excess water from the dam.
The Ghana Water Company say they had to because the threshold of 46 feet water level came up to 48 feet which threatens safety thereby informing their decision to spill.
GWCL noted the recent heavy rains led to the development but had stressed that the situation is now in control.
Many of the affected residents of Weija had to pass the night at churches and schools where the flood was not extended to.
