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.
