A building under construction at the Architectural Engineering Group premises in Roman Ridge, Accra, has collapsed, leaving several people feared trapped under the debris. Emergency services are on the scene, working tirelessly to rescue those caught in the incident.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud crash followed by a cloud of dust and falling debris. Firefighters, police, and rescue personnel have cordoned off the area to ensure public safety and facilitate the rescue operations.
The exact number of casualties or injuries is yet to be confirmed, as authorities focus on freeing individuals safely. Residents and passersby have been urged to avoid the area to allow emergency teams to carry out their work efficiently.
This collapse raises serious concerns about construction safety standards and regulatory enforcement in Ghana. An official investigation is expected once the rescue operation is complete to determine the cause and prevent future incidents.
