'We all have a role to play' - Stonebwoy reacts to Accra floods

Afro-dancehall musician Stonebwoy has added his voice to the growing reactions following the devastating floods that swept through parts of Greater Accra after hours of heavy rainfall on June 29, 2026.

Reacting to the disaster, which left several communities submerged, the award-winning musician took to his X page to express sympathy for affected families and communities.

“Seeing the flood reports across the capital. My heart is with every family and community affected,” he wrote.

The “Jejereje” hitmaker stressed that preventing future flooding is a shared responsibility, urging the public to stop dumping refuse into drainage systems, avoid putting up structures in waterways, and ensure households construct proper drainage channels to improve the flow of water.

Stonebwoy also appealed to the authorities to take urgent action by desilting existing drains and, where necessary, widening and reconstructing major drainage channels across the capital to accommodate increasing volumes of water.

“Beyond today, we all have a role to play — by not dumping refuse in drainage systems, avoiding building structures in waterways, and ensuring that households construct proper drainage systems to help ease water flow.

“I also plead with the authorities to urgently desilt and, where needed, widen and reconstruct major drainage channels across the capital to cope with increasing water volumes. Please stay safe, look out for one another, and follow all safety advisories from NADMO and the relevant authorities,” he wrote.

Accra experienced widespread flooding on June 29, 2026, after hours of torrential rainfall, leaving several roads impassable and stranding commuters.
