The NPP 2028 Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic building collapse that occurred this afternoon in Accra Newtown. The building, reportedly a place of Christian worship, left several people trapped and others injured.
In a post on his social media accounts, Dr. Bawumia wrote, “I have received with sadness news of the tragic building collapse in Accra Newtown this afternoon. May the lives lost painfully rest in peace, and my deepest sympathy goes to the families. I pray that all trapped are brought out safely, and the injured recover swiftly. I also commend the rescue teams for their efforts to save lives.”
Rescue teams and emergency personnel rushed to the scene immediately and continue to work tirelessly to evacuate those trapped under the debris.
Authorities have appealed to the public to stay clear of the area to allow rescue operations to proceed unhindered.
The cause of the collapse has not yet been officially confirmed, with investigations expected to begin soon.
