GHANA SHOPPING MALL COLLAPSES, 3 DEAD, SEVERAL INJURED

 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.
