A five-storey building has collapsed at Apatrapa near Kumasi in Ashanti Region.
It is unclear how many people were in the building at the time of the collapse but there are fears that some people are trapped under the debris.
Building collapses not a rare thing
There have been several building collapses in recent years, often attributed to poor contsruction work on these structures.
Earlier this month a 22-year-old student of the Nyankumasi Ahenkro Senior High School in the Assin South District, was killed after the building in which she was sleeping collapsed on her following a heavy downpour.
Another person died in December 2014 when a restaurant under construction collapsed at Cantonments in the Greater Accra region.
And it’s almost three years since the Melcom shop at Achimota in Accra collapsed, claiming the lives of about 14 people and injuring several others.
