The family house of Allotey Jacobs, a former Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has collapsed and killed one person.
The one storey mud house at Amisakyir, a fishing community in Cape Coast, came down around 02:00 hours on Wednesday when the occupants were asleep, trapping two people.
This is the second building to have collapsed in the region in less than one week.
The victims were swiftly rescued by a joint team of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Police and Fire Service personnel and rushed to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital.
