One other individual has sustained serious injuries and is receiving medical treatment at Greenshield Hospital at Bekwai.
The Assemblyman for Sehwi Bekwai Zongo Electoral Area, Kwasi Prince, confirmed this unfortunate incident to Adom News, stating that it occurred on Thursday night.
According to him, the neighbours notified him when a section of the building collapsed, trapping people inside.
