Flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has commended the rescue team for the great work they have done so far.
An uncompleted school building in Accra New Town has collapsed, in a new development where a structure being used by a group of worshippers as a makeshift church gave way during a Sunday service.
The incident happened around 1:00 p.m. on March 29 while members were inside the building, leaving several people trapped under the debris.
Reports indicate that some of the people trapped in the building have been rescued, while others have lost their lives.
In a social media post reacting to the incident, the NPP’s flagbearer prayed that all who have been trapped will be safely brought out.
He said, “I have received with sadness, news of the tragic building collapse in Accra Newtown this afternoon. The building is said to be a place of Christian worship. 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”.
