'My heart is with every family' – Stonebwoy reacts to Accra flood disaster
Award-winning Ghanaian Afro-dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has joined the growing list of public figures reacting to the devastating floods that swept through parts of Greater Accra following hours of heavy rainfall on June 29, 2026.
The floods submerged several communities, leaving residents stranded and causing widespread destruction across the capital.
In a post shared on his X page, the “Jejereje” hitmaker expressed sympathy for families and communities affected by the disaster.
“Seeing the flood reports across the Capital. My heart is with every family and community affected,” he wrote.
Stonebwoy stressed that addressing the recurring flooding problem requires a collective effort from both citizens and authorities.
According to him, the public must stop dumping refuse into drainage systems, avoid constructing buildings on waterways, and ensure that households build proper drainage systems to improve the free flow of water.
He also urged government authorities to act swiftly by desilting existing drains and, where necessary, widening and reconstructing major drainage channels across the capital to accommodate increasing water volumes.
"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.”
The dancehall star further encouraged Ghanaians to remain vigilant during the rainy season, urging residents to look out for one another and comply with safety directives issued by the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and other relevant authorities.
“Please stay safe, look out for one another, and follow all safety advisories from NADMO and the relevant authorities,” he added.
Accra experienced widespread flooding on June 29, 2026, after hours of torrential rainfall, leaving several roads impassable and stranding commuters. The floods also resulted in fatalities, extensive property damage, and major disruptions to vehicular movement across several parts of the capital.
Stonebwoy also urged Ghanaians to prioritise safety as the rainy season continues, encouraging residents to support one another and heed directives from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and other relevant agencies.
"Please stay safe, look out for one another, and follow all safety advisories from NADMO and the relevant authorities," he said.
