A three-story structure under construction behind Ofankor Market, close to Asofan, collapsed on September 23, 2023, a Saturday.
The precise reason for the collapse is yet unknown, however according to some authorities, the previous day’s torrential rainfall may have had an impact. Thankfully, there were no reported casualties in this occurrence.
In order to ensure the safe evacuation of everyone there, a worker at the construction site detected indications of the approaching collapse and swiftly raised the alarm.
“The tenants said there were no people trapped inside the building,” he remarked. They stated that there has been no active construction in the structure for almost six months.
But when we spoke to a neighbor, he said someone had just finished plastering when they realized the structure was about to collapse.
He quickly let the others know. This is incongruous, and I think the tenants might be hiding information to defend their landlady.
Nartey continued, “The precise reason for the collapse is yet unknown, but I question whether the right building materials were used and safety precautions were taken.
Although the tenants gave the previous day’s torrential rains credit for it, this should not have been sufficient to bring down an entire building.
