A carpenter working on the construction of a Lebanese restaurant at Cantoments in Accra met his untimely end when the building he and his colleagues were working on just flat out collapsed.
12 others were trapped under the rubble, but concerted efforts from Police and Fire Service personnel led to their rescue and subsequent transportation to the hospital, with nine of them having so far having been discharged.
The deceased, according to Graphic Online, has been identified as Alex, a married man with one child.
The incident occurred around 11:30pm Saturday night, and the police got information early enough to go there; but between them, the Fire Service, and The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), they could not muster the right equipment to begin rescue work right away.
So that’s how the victim stayed under the rubble till the next day, at which point his rescue was rendered moot, since he had already died.
