Mampong: Violent rainstorm rips off basic school roof, other structures

A heavy rainstorm has caused significant damage in Nintin, a community in the Mampong Municipality of the Ashanti Region, ripping off the roofs of several buildings, including the Presbyterian Basic School.

The incident occurred around 3 p.m. on February 18, 2025, following a drizzle that was accompanied by a powerful and destructive storm.

Beyond Nintin, a nearby community, Hwidiem, has also been affected. The storm has additionally disrupted electricity supply in the area, leaving residents and pupils stranded.
