 This morning, five people lost their lives in flooding waters in southern Ghana city of Cape Coast, about 144 km west of the capital, local media reports said Monday.

While one of the victims was electrocuted after electricity poles fell into the flood waters, another was said to have been carried away by the raging floods following five days of torrential rains.

Three others died when a building caved in on them as a result of the continued rains in the city, one of Ghana's tourism hubs.

Reports said the bodies have been deposited at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital.

The National Disaster Management Organization's (NADMO ) has deployed its officials since Friday to try and assist the residents during the continued rains.

Ghana's coastal and middle belts have been experiencing continuous rains since early last week.

Federal Government has signed a tripartite agreement with the UN High Commission for Refuge (UNHCR) and the Republic of Cameroon for the return of Nigerian refugees from Cameroon.

The Director-General, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Muhammad Sidi, spoke when an AU Humanitarian Mission led by Dr Aisha Abdullahi, AU’s Commissioner Political Affairs, visited the agency in Abuja.

Sidi, in a statement signed by Sani Datti, NEMA’s Information Officer, said: “80,000 Nigerians are taking refuge in Cameroon and are being catered for by the Federal Government”.

He hailed the Federal Government, state governments affected by the insurgency, the UN agencies, non-governmental organisations and the private sector for supporting the refugees.

The NEMA director-general also thanked all the development partners and donor agencies for working tirelessly in supporting the Internally Displaced persons (IDPs) and the government and people of Nigeria.

Sidi said the organisations had “done a lot in the past four years to manage large numbers of IDPs in the North-East”.

He said with the war against Boko Haram almost over, the stakeholders in the humanitarian response “have moved from the emergency response stage to recovery and resettlement of the IDPs”.

He urged the visiting AU commissioner to use her office to seek more assistance and support for the persons and the states affected by the insurgency.

Abdullahi had said the AU team was in Nigeria to assess the humanitarian situation and to discuss areas of possible support.

The statement quoted her as saying that the displaced Nigerians were of concern to the AU.

“The records available to AU indicate that there are about 13 million displaced persons and three million refugees on the continent.

“I commend the efforts of the Nigerian government and the military for degrading and minimising the activities of the insurgents in the North-East.

“The AU will continue to give more attention to the issues of displacement through interaction and focus on addressing the root causes of conflicts in Africa,’’ Abdullahi said

Amodu Shaibu former Super Eagles coach and technical director, died on Saturday morning in Benin City, just three days after another ex-national team coach Stephen Keshi died in the same town.

“The Edo State Commissioner for Information, Kazeem Afegbua, called me this morning to inform me of Amodu’s death.

His corpse has been deposited at the Stella Obasanjo Hospital morgue in Benin City,” Edo FA chairman, Frank Ilaboya, said.

Amodu coached the Eagles several times, qualifying the national team twice for the World Cup in 2002 and 2010 but was not allowed to manage the national team at both World Cups.

The coach also led BCC Lions to win the 1989 FA Cup, breaking a long time jinx of northern clubs’ inability to win the trophy.

The following year, he led the club to win the Africa Cup Winners. He was the Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation before his death.

No statement has been made on the cause of his death but close sources say he didn’t wake up from his sleep.

“When Keshi was admitted, he (Amodu) called me to enquire about his state. He didn’t sound like someone sick,” Ilaboya added.

On this reason that Odigha's family went to Esther's family to ask for her name in marriage.
