Accra Mall ceiling collapse

A similar incident happened at Accra Mall on Thursday, October 11, 2018, when parts of the ceiling of the Electronics hub shop caved in and injured three people.

According to an eyewitness, the three persons were directly under the area that caved in.

President Nana Akufo-Addo subsequently expressed his sympathies to victims, and also called on Ghanaians to work together to improve maintenance culture to forestall such accidents from recurring.
