A 53-year-old mother of three has been confirmed dead after she was swept away by floodwaters at Anloga-Susuakyi in the Oforikrom Municipality of the Ashanti region.

The body of Akosua Dufie, a second-hand clothing dealer, was retrieved on Friday morning by a search party about 500 meters from the scene in the Susuan stream.
