Rescue operations to save a construction worker trapped under a collapsed building at the Kasoa New Market in the Central Region have concluded successfully.
It took personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) more than two hours to rescue the victim, who was pinned beneath the debris.
The incident occurred on Saturday, October 11, when an old residential structure reportedly collapsed during renovation works. According to eyewitnesses, the building’s owner had hired masons to reinforce the weak structure while constructing a summer hut within the premises.
However, the structure suddenly collapsed while the workers were on site. Three of them managed to escape unhurt, but one was trapped beneath the debris.
Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), supported by other emergency teams, quickly moved to the scene and cordoned off the area.
