“I have received with sadness news of the tragic building collapse in Accra Newtown this afternoon. May the lives lost painfully rest in peace, and my deepest sympathy goes to the families. I pray that all trapped are brought out safely, and the injured recover swiftly. I also commend the rescue teams for their efforts to save lives.”
The building, reportedly used as a place of Christian worship, collapsed this afternoon, prompting immediate action by rescue teams and emergency personnel. Authorities are urging the public to stay clear of the area to allow uninterrupted search and recovery operations.
