National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has expressed sorrow over the collapse of an uncompleted four-storey building near the Experimental D/A School in Accra Newtown.
“My heart breaks for the families affected by yesterday’s building collapse in New Town. To those waiting for news and those mourning deep losses, the entire nation stands with you in prayer and grief,” Asiedu Nketiah wrote in a Facebook post.
Three people have been confirmed dead, while 20 others have been rescued.
The collapse, which occurred on Sunday, March 29, prompted an urgent response from rescue teams working tirelessly through the night to search for survivors and manage the situation on the ground.
He also praised the swift and dedicated efforts of first responders, highlighting the critical roles played by the Ghana National Fire Service, the Ghana Police Service, and volunteers who joined rescue operations.
“We owe a debt of gratitude to our first responders, the Ghana National Fire Service, the Ghana Police Service, and the brave volunteers on the ground who have worked tirelessly through the night. May God grant us strength and comfort as we navigate this tragedy together.”
Authorities have yet to release full details on casualties or the cause of the collapse, but investigations are expected to begin once rescue operations conclude.
