Two additional buildings have collapsed in Cape Coast, bringing the total number of destroyed structures in the area to six in just one week.

The most recent event happened on Thursday, June 26 after a heavy downpour. Around 10 p.m., a residential structure in Brofoyedur, central Cape Coast, collapsed.

Thankfully, no fatalities were reported because the residents had already fled the house because it had previously flooded.
The residents have been unwilling to move, even though it is obvious that the compromised structure poses a threat. On Friday, June 27, Esi Mary, one of the locals, said that the government must step in immediately.

“The downpour that happened yesterday has drained all the sand into the gutter, and that has caused a blockage leading to a flood, and that flood has ended up destroying our houses. No one was hurt. All our machines in the building have been damaged by the rain,” she lamented.

A storey building that was still under construction collapsed at the West End, next to Adisadel College, in a different occurrence. Although there were no recorded injuries in that structure, the municipality’s building safety worries have increased due to the frequent failures.
In response, Eduamoah Okyere Ekow Panyin, the Central Regional Minister, ordered the Cape Coast Municipal Assembly to remove all damaged buildings right now in order to stop other tragedies.

“We have ordered that the remaining building be brought down as early as possible so we can have an arrangement with the family to see how best we can assist. In the meantime, we have asked them to move to a different area and stay there for a while. We arrange how to assist them,” the minister said.   

Residents of Aputuogya in the Bosomtwe District of the Ashanti Region are shocked and terrified after an unidentified person was allegedly killed by a guy suspected of having mental instability.

The suspect, who is also unknown to the residents of the Aputuogya area but is rumored to reside in the nearby town of Feyiase, is believed to have attacked the deceased, whose name has not yet been determined.

Samuel Adu Amankwah, the assembly member for the Aputuogya Electoral Area, confirmed the incident, stating that the suspect tried to dispose of the body by burying it in a gutter after the grisly deed.

The culprit has subsequently been captured and charged before the Ejisu District Magistrate’s Court, he added.

As investigations proceed, the deceased’s body has been transported and placed at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital morgue.
