A three-storey building has collapsed at Winneba in the Efutu Municipality of the Central Region.

Adom News’ Kofi Adjei reports that no casualty was recorded since all 15 tenants of the building survived the incident and have been accounted for.

The Winneba Municipal Fire Service Commander DO2 Kwesi Hugues revealed that, they had a distress call from some residents that a three-storey building have collapsed on some tenants.

In an interview with Adom News, DO2 Hugues indicates that, when they proceeded to the scene, all the tenants were able to escape but none of them were able to pick up their properties.

He revealed that preliminary investigations show that, the building was built in a waterlog while the owner failed to use quality materials.
