Accra Mall Roof Collapses, Injures Two

Some parts of the ceiling of a yet-to-be identified shop at Accra mall on Thursday fell and caused injury to at least two (2) people.

The number of people who were hurt in the incident is yet to be officially confirmed but bystanders have disclosed to The Publisher that two people were present when the ceiling collapsed.

The police are currently at the scene and cordoned off the area as they work to restore calm.

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

He however added that, the two appeared to have sustained “minor injuries” when they were taken to the mall clinic.

“I came to shop inside the Mall. I saw the roof come down on a shop. There were two people inside the shop. When the roof came down, they were directly under it. Some people came around and helped the victims.

“From the way they were carried to the mall clinic, it looked like they had minor injuries.”

The retail centre has since been evacuated as the authorities try to assess the extent of the damage.
