One person is dead while four others have sustained severe leg fracture after a health centre under construction collapsed at Assemblies a community in the Ga South Municipality.
Eyewitnesses say the structure caved in after the rains started.
Some eyewitnesses were of the view that the material used in the building were inferior hence the collapse.

At that time a woman and her two children and some other individuals were standing under the building and the building caved in them. One person is dead and four others are in critical condition”Nii Ayi an eyewitness said.
The Municipal Fire Commander in Kasoa came in to rescue the trapped victims under the rubble but says several factors might have contributed to the collapse.
DO3 Mercel Kwami Avadu says several factors could have led to the collapse of the building adding that the land housing the structure which is meant for a health centre is water logged.
“Several factors could have lead to collapse of the building. The area itself looks like a water log land and so I am sure it is one of the factors” Marcel Kwami Avadu said.
