Heavy rains and hailstorms caused damage to property in parts of the Volta Region on Saturday 25 February.
A state-of-the-art rice mill and the HGL Holdings near Adaklu-Tsriefe were some of the structures ravaged by the storm. Ho, Adaklu and Hohoe were the most affected.
The storm, which occurred at about 4pm, collapsed the building that housed the mill and large quantities of processed and paddy rice.
Some farm machinery of the company, which recently made a market entry with a rice brand, was also damaged.
Cyril Klutse, the general manager, said the company had been struck unexpectedly by the disaster. However, he confirmed no one was hurt.
Archibald Yao Letsa, the Volta regional minister, was at the facility to access the damage caused. He gave the assurance of the government’s support.
Officials of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) told the Ghana News Agency that the extent of damage was being ascertained and will soon be made public.
