Accra: 1 Person Reported Death as Building Collapses in Accra.... 12 Injured

Saturday was a sad day for some people around the capital of Ghana as one person was crushed to death at Cantonments when a four-storey building he was working on with others collapsed late that night.

According to Graphics Ghana:

The deceased, whose name was only given as Alex, was said to be a married man with a child.

The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Police Hospital.

Twelve others rescued from the rubble were sent to the Police and the 37 Military hospitals, where nine of them were treated and discharged.

The remaining three, who are still on admission at the Police Hospital, are not in danger.

The incident reportedly occurred around 11 p.m. last Saturday when the building, located near the American Embassy in the plush

Cantonments suburb, buckled while close to 20 construction workers were working on it.
