Madia MP Lawyer Francis Xavier Sosu on Monday rushed to Adenta West about the news of a collapsed 3 storey building at May Construction, where one person had been trapped and three others injured.
Together with NADMO and Fire Service Officers, the motionless body of the person trapped was retrieved after about two hours of search.
He was dead when he was found and his ID showed he was called Alidu Adnah.
The Body has since been deposited at the Police Motuary and the Foreman has been arrested by the Adenta Police.
The MP saddened by the destruction to life and property and pledge to offer his unflinching support to victims of this disaster in these moments of grief.
“I have also called for the arrest and prosecution of all persons found culpable and complicit in this disaster he stressed.
He elaborated that “This disaster again reveals the vulnerability as a nation and how unprepared we are when it comes to response to public saftey matters and natural disasters. When I got to the scene, the Fire Service Officers were using shovels and axes to attempt to remove the rubbles to rescue the person beneath the collapsed building. NADMO Officers indicated that the only Excavator they have had broken down and could not assist”.
After a passionate appeal, Engineers and Planners dispatched an Excavator and one other excavator was procured by a volunteer to assist.
It was also obvious that the building was suffering from structural defects leading to its collapse.
