An eyewitness, Samuel Ofori Duah, aka Check Point, said they heard the 'big bang' during the rains around 11pm and when they checked, it was a concrete fence wall which separated the two buildings that collapsed.
He said the fence wall fell on the side of the building where the two were sleeping and killed them.
