In March this year, an uncompleted hotel building in Accra collapsed, killing one person and trapping five others.

A 28-year-old man and his 4-year-old daughter have died after the walls of their bedroom collapsed on them at Aninkruma near Barekuma in the Atwima Nwabiagya District of Ashanti.
Kofi Boateng, the father and Maame Pokua were pronounced dead on arrival at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) after the tragedy on Tuesday night.
His wife, who is five months pregnant, and another child were seriously injured. The two are currently receiving treatment at KATH.

The pregnant woman is said to have lost one leg in the accident as the wall collapsed on her leg.
Nhyira FM’s Ohemeng Tawiah reports that the family was asleep when a section of the building gave way trapping them inside for a while before neighbours came to their rescue.

He reports that the five-month-old pregnant mother had attempted to escape with the now deceased daughter but were hit by the falling walls.
The cause of the building collapse has not been established yet.

However, neighbours suspect a heavy downpour early on was a significant cause of the tragic incident.
District Chief Executive (DCE) of the area, Nana Asare-Bediako, who was astounded by the tragic incident has advised people in weak structures to take precaution, especially as the rains set in.

Do you need a soothsayer to know that the house was without solid foundation as it is in most of our cities

A "downpour" was responsible?

Even after hurricanes, tornades and tsunami's in other countries, - some buildings were still left STANDING!

Its ALL to do with poor construction, cutting corners and greasing the palms of those responsible for ensuring building works are standard.
