In the clip, she is seen standing among the debris of her mansion, expressing disbelief and sorrow over the sudden destruction, which she believes was fueled by corrupt practices.
The woman, speaking with visible distress, alleged that some officials accept substantial bribes to allow the construction of buildings along waterways, only to return later to demolish them.
“Floods happen because of greed,” she cried, blaming authorities for facilitating poor planning through corruption and then punishing law-abiding citizens.
She insisted that her home was legally approved through proper channels.
The demolition is reportedly part of an ongoing effort to clear unauthorized buildings that obstruct waterways in flood-prone areas.
The Greater Accra locality of Sakumono has seen a surge in such enforcement actions, intended to prevent flooding during the rainy season.
Despite the government’s stated objectives, many affected residents feel targeted and wronged.
The woman also claimed she had received no warning or official notice before her house was demolished.
Her emotional outburst highlights the personal toll of flood-prevention policies and has sparked debates on social media regarding corruption, urban planning, and housing justice in Ghana.
