A chilling new voice has emerged from the rubble of the devastating Accra New Town building collapse—and his story is nothing short of miraculous.
A security guard who was on duty when the ill-fated structure came crashing down has finally spoken out, revealing how he narrowly escaped death in what many are now calling a disaster that could have been far worse.
“I Thought It Was the End…”
Recounting the terrifying moments before and during the collapse, the visibly shaken guard described how the building gave way suddenly, leaving no time to react.
“I survived by grace,” he said, attributing his escape to sheer luck and divine intervention.
According to him, the scene turned chaotic within seconds—dust filled the air, screams echoed through the area, and debris came crashing down as the structure failed.
A Narrow Escape from Death
The guard revealed that he was dangerously close to where the collapse occurred. Any slight delay, he suggested, could have cost him his life.
While others were not as fortunate—including victims who were later pulled from the debris—the guard’s survival is being seen as nothing short of a miracle.
Eyewitness to Horror
As one of the few people present at the time, his testimony is now shedding light on what exactly unfolded in those critical moments. Reports indicate he had been stationed nearby when the building suddenly caved in, catching many off guard.
His account adds to growing concerns about structural safety and the conditions leading up to the collapse.
Grief, Fear, and Anger
While he survived, the emotional scars remain. The tragedy has left families mourning, survivors traumatized, and a community demanding answers.
Questions are now intensifying:
- Was the building structurally sound?
- Were warnings ignored?
- Could this disaster have been prevented?
“This Should Never Happen Again”
The guard’s survival story is powerful—but it also serves as a grim reminder of the lives lost and the dangers still lurking in poorly managed structures.
As investigations loom, one thing is certain: this tragedy has shaken Accra to its core—and the voices from the scene are getting louder.
