| Ga South building disaster |
One more person has been confirmed dead in the recent Ga South municipality building disaster at a suburb called Assemblies in the Greater Accra Region on Tuesday, 4 July 2023.
The owner of the building, identified as Hannah Lomotey, died on the spot when the building caved in.
Four others also sustained injuries in the disaster.
Eyewitnesses say the building succumbed after the rains.
They suspect the materials used for the construction were of inferior quality.
One witness said he saw the building crumble on a woman and two children.
The Kasoa Municipal Fire Commander and his team moved in to rescue the victims trapped under the rubble.
DO3 Mercel Kwami Avadu told the media that "several factors could have led to the collapse of the building", adding: "The area itself looks like a waterlog land and, so, I am sure it is one of the factors."
In the past three months, five buildings have collapsed in the Greater Accra Region
