The recently built four-storey shopping mall, Melcom, Achimota Branch, in the Ghanaian capital Accra collapsed yesterday. Three people have been confirmed dead and dozens
of victims are still trapped. Thousands thronged the site, including family members in search of relatives. Police said around 50 employees were reported to be in the building
before the collapse on Wednesday morning. It was not immediately clear
if customers were also inside, with one worker saying the mall had yet
to open, but the mall is a heavily patronized shopping mall in the area.
It is reported that the whole building collapsed suddenly without warning. Some previous shoppers claim the building always
looked poorly and hurriedly built.
