Church Collapse: Akufo-Addo Mourns With Affected Families
President Akufo-Addo has expressed his condolence to the families of the victims of the Akyem Batabi church collapse.
So far, 18 people have been confirmed dead in the accident with others injured.
“On behalf of Government and the people of Ghana, I send my deepest condolences to the families of the 15 persons who lost their lives tragically in the church building that collapsed at Akim Batabi near Oda. I wish the 8 injured persons speedy recovery,” the President said in a tweet Thursday.
A total of 26 victims had been retrieved as of Thursday.
More victims are expected to be extricated as rescue Operation enters the third day.
Almost all the victims found by the rescue team after 24 hours of the incident are dead, an indication that many victims trapped under the rubbles are giving up the ghost as their rescue delays.
The rescue team are in a dilemma on the exact number of victims trapped as some survivors have given conflicting figures.
Meanwhile, the Founder of Church Of Prosperity, Prophet Isaac Ofori popularly known as Akoa Isaac is assisting the Akyem Oda Divisional Police Command to investigate the incident.
