  "account": "A collapsed church building caused panic among residents of Klagon, near Lashibi in Ghana's Greater Accra Region. On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, pillars and scaffolding of a church belonging to the Breaking Yoke Ministry gave way, trapping eight workers under the debris. The incident occurred around 7:00 p.m., and eyewitnesses reported that the victims were unloading cement at the construction site when the structure collapsed.\n\nTwo individuals were rushed to the hospital for injuries, while fears persist that more people may still be trapped under the rubble. The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) arrived at the scene to assess the situation and begin rescue operations. A crowd of onlookers gathered at the scene, with footage shared on social media showing the collapsed structural formwork, wooden scaffolding, and wire mesh near the roofline of the multi-storey building.\n\nAuthorities have yet to determine the exact cause of the collapse. In March of the same year, another construction project within the premises of Accra New Town Experimental Basic School, used as a temporary church, collapsed after heavy rainfall. The uncompleted three-storey or four-storey structure resulted in three deaths and left 20 others injured. The building had been left unfinished for years and had been deemed unsafe due to visible defects and poor construction. Investigations into the cause of the collapse are ongoing.",
