Seven construction workers have been injured after a church building collapsed on them at Old Bortianor in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
The three-storey church auditorium of the Word In Action Church collapsed Tuesday morning while construction work was ongoing.
According to some eyewitnesses, seven persons who were working on an extension project of the auditorium heard an unusual noise, but the building collapsed just when they attempted to escape.
All the victims were pulled out of the rubble and rushed to the Bortianor Polyclinic. One of them who was critically injured was later transferred to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
“I can say that one of the injured persons is very hurt because the pillars really hit him hard. That is what I actually saw,” an eyewitness told Citi News.
The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) says it has brought its search for any possible trapped victims to an end.
The outfit however says it is yet to determine the actual cause of the incident.
