THE top floors of a five-story shopping centre in Ghana have collapsed, killing at least one person and trapping dozens.
A spokesman for the Ghana Fire Service, Billy Anaglate, confirmed the fatality at the Melcom Shopping Centre at Achimota, a suburb of Accra.
The collapse on Wednesday took place less than a year after the centre was completed.
Other officials told The Associated Press that the death toll was likely to rise.
"We are still working to find out the fate of others who may be trapped under," Anaglate said.
Five people have been rescued while about 35 more are known to be trapped, said police official Freeman Tetteh.
Search and rescue teams were working to free those caught in the shopping centre, said Kojo Boadi, an eyewitness.
"I was on my way to the shop when l saw it crumpling down," he said.
President John Mahama declared the scene a disaster zone and cut short his election campaign in the north of the country to visit the site.
