A disturbing video has surfaced showing deep cracks in buildings at the Apenkwa Cluster of Schools, raising safety concerns.

The school comprises Presby 1 School, Presby 2 School, and Shiayennoh Basic School.

LIVESTREAMED: Victims trapped as 3-storey Newtown school building collapses

The video shared by Metro TV on Thursday, April 30, 2026, shows deep and extensive cracks on the walls of a multi-storey classroom block, with parts of the structure appearing weak.

The cracks are believed to have developed over the years and compounded by recent rainfall, a development that could immensely impact the stability of the building.

Despite the visible damage, students are seen having their usual lessons in the classrooms.

The situation has raised fears of a possible disaster if urgent steps are not taken to assess and fix the structure.

There has been no official response yet from authorities on the condition of the buildings or the safety of students and staff.

This matter has attracted the attention of the public following a recent building collapse at the Accra New Town Experimental School.

It would be recalled that a 14-year-old three-storey building at the Accra New Town Experimental School collapsed on Sunday, March 29, 2026, after heavy rainfall.

Reports indicate that the structure had earlier been declared unfit for use by the assembly and was marked for demolition.

The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) confirmed that 23 people were trapped in the rubble, made up of 15 females and 8 males, including three minors.
