Briefing newsmen on the sad incident this Wednesday, the Vice Chairman of Doma Local Government Council, Mr John Bako – Ari, disclosed that the unfortunate tragedy occurred on Tuesday this week in the evening.
He explained that over one hundred residential houses were destroyed, including the Agbashi Central mosque, while part of Pilot Primary School Agbashi and several other public infrastructure were not spared by the devastating windstorm.
 In his reaction on the incident, the acting Chairman, Agbashi Development Association (ADA)Mr Anthony Oshinyeka, said the sad incident has brought untold hardship to the affected victims.
He said the area worst hit by the windstorm is the Bassa settlement in Iponu at the outskirt of Agbashi where one person lost his life and seven others sustained injuries.
