A 6-year-old boy, Kelvin Ofori Sarfo, known as (Kobby) drowned on Monday at Atonsu in the Asokwa municipality of the Ashanti Region after a heavy downpour.
The unfortunate incident which occurred around 5 pm has left residents in a state of shock.
The parents of the deceased, Madam Abena Konadu and Mr Richard Boakye said a neighbour informed them that their 6-year-old boy had drowned after he went chasing one of his sandals which had fallen into a gutter.
According to reports, personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service and the Police went to the scene to search for the boy but all their efforts proved futile.
However, the Sompahene of Atonsu traditional council, Nana Oteng mensah Bonsu, charged road contractors to make sure they cover abandoned gutters and potholes on that stretch and all roads to avoid calamity in the various communities.
