The heavy downpour on Monday, June 29, led to the collapse of a three-storey, seven-bedroom house at Tabora No. 9.

The unfortunate incident occurred around 9 p.m. in Accra when the 90 per cent-completed structure gave way and crashed to the ground.

Speaking to Adom News, the landlady, Serwaa Prempeh, said she heard something fall, followed by a sound similar to that of an avocado dropping to the ground.

She then asked her children to check what had fallen, only to be informed that a block had dropped from the top of the building. They quickly ran to safety and escaped unharmed before the structure caved in.

“When I asked my children to pick it up, they discovered it was actually a block that had fallen from one of the building’s pillars,” she narrated.

Although no casualties were recorded, some property remains buried under the rubble.

The landlady said she suspects the heavy rainfall caused the land to become waterlogged, which may have contributed to the collapse.

Residents in the area are currently awaiting the arrival of officials from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) to assess the situation.

Meanwhile, yesterday’s downpour caused flooding in major parts of the capital, Accra, inundating roads, submerging homes and communities, and causing significant damage to property.
