Following a violent rainfall that pounded the town on Sunday evening, the body of a 38-year-old teacher was discovered in a drainage at Aburaso within New Edubiase in the Adansi South District.
Francis Abu, an Assistant Head Teacher at Adansi Atobiase D/A Basic School, went missing on Sunday night during the severe rains.
On Monday morning, some members of the community discovered his body near the drain's southern end.
This came after the wife's attempts to track down his whereabouts following the rains were fruitless. The body of the teacher has been deposited at the New Edubiase government hospital mortuary for autopsy while investigations continued, according to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Mr Francis Ackah, Adansi South District Commander.
The rain also caused some school buildings in New Edubiase to be destroyed.
The St. John the Baptist elementary school was the hardest hit, with the junior high school block being completely demolished by the storm.
