A thunderstorm at Amanfrom near Hwidiem in the Asutifi South District of the Ahafo Region resulted in the death of seven people.
The ugly situation also brought about a distraction of properties running into several thousands of cedis.
The strong winds also destroyed electric poles which led to some live wires dumped on the roof of a nearby house, electrifying all the metals and irons of the building.
Seven victims however did not know that the metal was electrified and therefore touched the iron gates of the house thereby electrocuting them.
They were unfortunately pronounced dead on arrival whiles Five (5) others were currently responding to treatment at the St. Elizabeth Hospital in Hwidiem.
Honourable George Boakye whilst commiserating with affected parties as well as the bereaved families assured them of Government's full support to all the affected parties.
He further assured that his office will specifically put mechanisms in place in order to support the education of children of the deceased.
The Minister was accompanied by the District Chief Executive for the Asutifi South, Honourable Robert Dwomoh Mensah, and teams from the Regional and District NADMO offices.
