A warning issued by Ghanaian prophet Eric Boahen Uche weeks before the peak of the rainy season is drawing renewed attention as floods continue to wreak havoc across parts of the country, causing widespread destruction to property and loss of lives.

The founder and leader of Reign House Chapel International, Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, on May 3, 2026, cautioned authorities and disaster management agencies to take proactive measures ahead of what he described as severe flooding expected from June onwards.

Addressing his congregation during a prophetic service, the cleric warned that the country would experience devastating floods capable of claiming lives and destroying properties if adequate preparations were not made.

“We should start putting things in place, because this year there's going to be serious floods rocking many parts of the country, costing many lives and properties. From June, a lot of floods. Many people will lose their lives and many people will lose their properties,” he said.

Wednesdays of Grief: The tragic dates that continue to haunt Ghana’s collective memory

The man of God specifically urged the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and other relevant institutions to intensify preparedness efforts to mitigate the impact of the anticipated rains.

Weeks after the warning, parts of the country, particularly Accra and surrounding communities, have experienced severe flooding following heavy downpours.

The destruction began in late May and intensified through June with numerous homes and businesses submerged. Several residents have reported significant losses as floodwaters swept through communities and damaged personal belongings.

One of the most tragic incidents occurred at Adenta Newsite during heavy rains on Thursday evening, June 4, 2026, when a two-storey apartment building collapsed, trapping five occupants beneath the rubble.

According to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), a distress call was received at 6:36 p.m., prompting the immediate deployment of rescue teams from its National Headquarters, supported by personnel from the Legon and Abelemkpe Fire Stations.

The building, located near Da Yesu Ase Supermarket, collapsed with five people trapped inside. The victims were identified as Margaret Kpeli, Fred Atagba, Solomon, Seyeram Dzigda and David Dzigda.

Following an intensive search-and-rescue operation, firefighters successfully rescued Fred Atagba, Solomon, Seyeram Dzigda and David Dzigda. The injured victims were transported to the 37 Military Hospital for medical treatment.

Rescuers also managed to save a dog trapped beneath the debris.

However, Margaret Kpeli was later retrieved from the rubble unconscious after several hours of rescue efforts. She was subsequently handed over to the Adenta District Police for preservation and further investigations.

Earlier in the year, on March 29, 2026, heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding across several parts of Accra, including Dansoman, Weija, Kasoa Old Barrier, Mallam Junction, Kaneshie, Accra Central and Circle.

Roads in many of these areas became submerged, disrupting transportation and leaving motorists stranded as drainage systems struggled to cope with the volume of water.

More recently, another round of torrential rains triggered flooding in communities such as Amasaman, Santa Maria, Kaneshie and Mallam. Videos circulating on social media showed vehicles partially submerged, kiosks swept away and residents wading through floodwaters.

The recurring floods have once again reignited public concerns about Accra’s long-standing drainage and urban flooding challenges, particularly in low-lying communities that remain vulnerable during the rainy season.

While June is traditionally recognised as one of Ghana’s wettest months, many residents believe the scale of destruction witnessed this year has been more severe than in previous years.
