A three-storey building has collapsed at Winneba in the Efutu Municipality of the Central Region.
Adom News’ Kofi Adjei reports that no casualty was recorded since all 15 tenants of the building survived the incident and have been accounted for.
The Winneba Municipal Fire Service Commander DO2 Kwesi Hugues revealed that, they had a distress call from some residents that a three-storey building have collapsed on some tenants.
In an interview with Adom News, DO2 Hugues indicates that, when they proceeded to the scene, all the tenants were able to escape but none of them were able to pick up their properties.
He revealed that preliminary investigations show that, the building was built in a waterlog while the owner failed to use quality materials.
DO2 Hugues subsequently urged all Ghanaians to stop buying land during the dry season to know the nature of the land.
He also called on Ghanaians to do visibility studies before renting a house.
Building collapse has been rampant recently.
It may be recalled that early May, one person was trapped in a collapsed storey building under construction at Adentan in the Greater Accra Region.
Three others sustained injuries and were rushed to the hospital for treatment after the incident.
