The body of the 32-year-old doctor who went missing after Monday morning’s heavy rain has been found in the Kpeshi Lagoon in Accra.
The Greater Accra Regional Coordinator for the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), Archibald Cobbinah confirmed it.
He said a local fisherman found Aya Hayfron’s body, which has since been sent to a morgue.
The deceased, Dr Aya Hayfron who was returning home from church was trapped at a bridge on Teshie Bush Road and later carried away by flood waters.
Her distraught husband, Bernard Kofi Agyei Oppong said the waters were up above his waist level but determined to save her; swam to her car, where a group of people were attempting to rescue her but to no avail.
After an incessant public appeal, the police, NADMO and Fire Service responded to his plea, leading to the retrieval of her body and her car from the ditch.
