Residents of Salakope, Amutsinu and the surrounding communities have begun exhuming corpses of beloved bodies as tidal waves ravaged various cemeteries.

The devastating situation has left many residents restless and homeless whilst houses and other belongings have been submerged.

Eben Asah, the Assembly member of the area, in an earlier interview with Ghana News Agency, said the tidal wave destruction started on Thursday, January 16 with about 100 people having been displaced.

“If my calculations serve me right, it will take about 50 feet from where the sea is to the roadside and if care is not taken the main road linking Keta-Aflao will be cut off for pedestrians and motorists,” he said.

He said that some corpses were exhumed by the tidal waves while some families’ voluntary exhumed their beloved corps and buried them at a safer area to avoid been carried away by the tidal waves.

Etsey Akponovia, a resident of Salakope explained to the GNA that the families could not withstand their loved ones who were buried to be washed away by the tidal waves.

“We can’t allow our ancestors, grandfathers, grandmothers to be washed away just like that. They were buried but not drowned, so we decided to relocate those we can relocate for them to rest in peace.”

He said that the tidal waves destroyed properties, buildings, churches, and other residential places and immediate attention was needed to address the situation to serve the people living along the coast.

Akponovia said that the situation called for urgent attention to prevent the destruction from hitting other communities which include Agbozume, Denu, and Aflao.

He appealed to the government and philanthropists to urgently help build a sea defense wall to prevent further distribution that could completely wash away many communities in the area and promote economic gains.
