    The flood disaster in Mepe and other areas of the Vola Region, which was brought on by the spillage of the Akosombo Dam, has resulted in the rescue of about 12,000 people, according to the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).

    According to GAF, the flood situation in Mepe, the community that was severely impacted by the spillage, has been brought under considerable control as of Sunday, October 22.

    GAF made this statement while denying reports that military personnel who had been sent to Mepe for humanitarian relief operations had been evacuated.

    Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, a North Tongu member of parliament, had earlier claimed that the soldiers had been asked to leave the neighborhood.

    “Who ‘above’ has given orders to the military detachment helping us cross flood waters to immediately withdraw when the water levels haven’t receded and when thousands of lives are at stake in camps across these waters?”

    “Who in government is behind this utter cruelty?” He tweeted.

    But Mr. Ablakwa stated in a different tweet: “I just received a call indicating that the order has been reversed and that the soldiers have been directed to return with their boats and resume duty.

    “Soon, we shall fish out those faceless, unpatriotic elements.”

    The GAF categorically stated in a statement in response to this development that, “The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) wishes to debunk some media reports and a series of social media posts, especially on Twitter (X), claiming that military personnel deployed to Mepe in Volta Region for Humanitarian Relief Operations following the spillage of the Akosombo Dam, have been withdrawn.

    “GAF wishes to categorically state that the information in circulation is inaccurate and that the personnel have not been given any ‘orders from above’ to withdraw from Mepe or any other community affected by the spillage, contrary to the social media posts,” GAF said in a statement.
