A number of popular Ghanaian stars have commiserated with families of victims of the ‘Melcom building disaster’ that killed an unconfirmed number of people and injured over 70 others.
The Achimota branch of the Melcom Shopping Centre in Accra collapsed and trapped over 70 people on Wednesday. The five-storey building collapsed at about 9:45 pm, according to eye-witnesses.
The incident has since thrown the country into shock. A number of government officials including President John Mahama and other opposition leaders visited the scene of the disaster.
Some Ghana celebrities also took to different social networks to express their shock.
Among them were Yvonne Okoro, Deborah Vanessa, Ama K. Abebrese, Eazzy, EL and Mimi.
