has been killed by a falling telecommunications mast in Takoradi, Western Region after the mast which was situated on top of the storey building fell onto a busy lorry terminal. <\/p>\n<p>According to a report published by Ultimate FM, the deceased man who was identified as Abdul Aziz, a trader, suffered severe injuries to his scalp area when the mast collapsed on to a busy Takoradi-Kojokrom Lorry Terminal. <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Aziz, who was a dealer of CDs, was busy ploughing his trade in his container shop when the telecommunications mast fell and landed on top of his container. <\/p>\n<p>Abdul Aziz was quickly rushed to the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital after initially receiving first aid treatment at the scene of the incident. <\/p>\n<p>He was later referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital&#8217;s Accident and Emergency Unit where a resident doctor, Dr. Irene Ayimadu, confirmed his death. <\/p>\n<p>According to an eyewitness who saw the entire incident, the telecommunications mast also destroyed a Toyota Hiace minivan along with several others structures. <\/p>\n<p>The Nigerian communications company, Glo Ghana, is yet to comment on the incident, but have said that they&#8217;ve referred the matter to their legal team in Accra.<\/p>\n<p>Abdul Aziz was quickly rushed to the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital after initially receiving first aid treatment at the scene
