A powerful rainstorm that swept through Saturday evening wreaked havoc on the Sunyani Coronation Park, causing significant damage to various sections, including the VIP stands.
The most severely affected areas were the left and right wings of the VIP stands, as well as portions of the Jubilee stand and the DKM stand.
The rainstorm, which began around 17:15 hours and lasted until 18:30 hours, left behind a trail of destruction.
Eyewitness Mr. Francis Ankamah Wanney, Secretary of the Bono Ahafo Regional Football Association, confirming the news to Ghanasportspage.com reported that the rain started shortly after an FA Cup round of 16 match between Sunyani Prisons Ladies and Kumasi Sports Academy at the Park.
He recounted that portions of the roofing from the left wing of the VIP stands collapsed onto a nearby Northern Electricity Development Company (NEDCo) light pole, resulting in a blackout in the area. Additionally, debris from the right wing narrowly missed causing further damage.
