Five people are confirmed dead in Ndejje, Kanyanya, Makindye Ssabagabo division following the collapse of Good Luck Petrol station wall.
The wall crashed into neighbouring houses, during the heavy morning downpour.
According to Enanga, the collapsed wall crashed onto the victims who were inside their houses, resulting in their untimely deaths.
Following the incident, the police fire and rescue services promptly responded, managing to save three individuals who were then rushed to the hospital for medical treatment.
“The perimeter wall of Good Luck oil service station collapsed and crashed houses next to it. We have established that six people were crushed to death by this collapsed wall. As for the injured victims, they are receiving medical care, and we will ensure a thorough investigation to determine liability for prosecution,” Enanga explained during a press conference.
This tragic event is not an isolated incident this year. Several similar incidents have occurred, leading to heightened concerns over wall collapse-related fatalities.
In Kajjansi, Wakiso District, three children lost their lives after a wall crumbled during a heavy downpour. Additionally, a separate incident involving a collapsed school wall claimed the lives of three pupils. In Butaleja, two students tragically died when a dilapidated school wall collapsed on them.
