Some people who were injured in the Accra mall ceiling collapse incident in October last year [2018] are demanding compensation from the management of the mall.
Three persons who suffered various degrees of injuries are alleging that management of the mall and the assigned insurance company has done little to compensate them.
In an interview on Citi FM, one of the victims, Goodness Opara said they were abandoned after the incidentÂ
“We were abandoned. We went to the insurance personnel and they told us they will get back to us. They got back to us and we were told we have to get residence permit-without it the clearing process cannot continue.â€
He further alleged that attempts to get in touch with the management of the mall had been fruitless.
Background
