The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo, and the Mayor of Accra, Michael Kpakpo Allotey, were present at the scene following the building collapse.

He stated that 20 other people were rescued from the devastating school building collapse incident, which occurred on Sunday, 29 March 2026.

The Interior Minister also added that the three deceased persons comprised one male and two females.

He said:

"So far, the information that has been cross-checked and double-checked, including visits to all the hospitals to ensure we do not provide any information that may be far from the facts, indicates that it is very difficult to tell how many people were inside the building."

"However, based on the cross-checks from the Ambulance Service and their team, who have been here throughout the night and have done a wonderful job, this is what we have."
