  • Post category:Ashanti-news

Two persons have been confirmed dead after a fence wall collapsed on them at Atasemanso in Kumasi.

One other person is in critical condition and receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).

The deceased and their friends, all masons were erecting a fence wall when another wall fell on them.

A joint rescue team from the Police and Fire Service managed to rescue one of the three who was trapped.

Lifeless bodies of the two others were retrieved.

“I was working at one side of the building when I heard a loud bang,” a distraught worker told Ashantibiz news.

“Some workers and I rushed towards where the sound came from only to see a wall had collapsed on our colleagues. We tried to rescue them but to no avail. Personnel from the Fire Service and police were swift in arriving at the scene but only one person was rescued.”

The contractor of the building has since been picked up by the police to assist in investigation.
