He said the only toilet constructed by the Local Government with HIPIC funds at Adoagyiri had its roofs blown off by the storm and destroyed a large quantity of farm produce in the area. Mr Nyarko Adu said there were no casualties but that damage would be estimated at several thousands of Ghana cedis. He appealed to the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), other relief agencies and philanthropists to come to the ad of the victims.
