One person has been reported dead, and fourteen (14) others rescued after an old school building collapsed near the Experimental Junior High School in Newtown.
The incident occurred while worshippers were gathered inside the building. Rescue teams from the Ghana National Fire Service and other emergency agencies responded promptly.
Public Relations Officer of the Ghana National Fire Service, ADO1 Alex King Nartey, said efforts to rescue anyone still trapped continue.
“We have one person reported dead, it is a female. She is in her early 30s. She has been transported for medical checks to ascertain her status.
“Rescue mission is still ongoing. The voices are growing fainter because our officers are relying on people calling for help to trace where people are. For now, people are still down there. We are not sure of the number,” he said.
