Reading the comments, it's clear people didn't bother reading the article before posting. "According to reports, the building had previously been declared unfit for use by the assembly and was earmarked for demolition."

Some one ought to explain this! If it was a known fact that the building was unfit for use, why allow it to stand and permit a group to use it?

Yes, but it was allowed to remain standing for more than a decade, and that is why some people in authority may have to answer questions.
Why should a building be declared unfit for use by the authorities, earmarked for demolition, and then left standing all these years, regardless of the danger to the public.

It's not desperation. It has everything to do about CORRUPTION. The building was supposedly declared unfit for use, so why in all these years did the right authorities fail to follow up on that decision if not for some officials being paid off by the crooked owners of that building? This case isn't unique, for if there were to be a genuine safety inspection of buildings in all the major cities and towns of Ghana, half of these buildings would not pass a safety test. The public also has to be concerned enough about safety and start pressuring government agencies to take action whenever unsafe buildings are left standing or even being used when they ought not to be.

Those corrupt evil crooks were just cutting corners to make a huge profit, and their greed resulted in the loss of lives and injuries to many others. The public expects its public officials to protect them by rigorously enforcing the rules that are to ensure the safety and soundness of buildings, but unfortunately it doesn't appear that such expectation was met. Road contractors take shortcuts with road construction and repairs, and building contractors also engage in the same diabolic acts, thereby endangering public safety.

On what grounds did the so-called pastor or prophet conduct church service under this skeletal structure? God have mercy on some latter-day pastors and prophets establishing churches every seconds and minutes. They say you (God) has called them but clearly you don't know them and hasn't anointed any of them as your messengers as they claimed. Who will be blamed for this ? No one but the city authorities were aware of this death trap structure but no action was taken to avoid this fatalities. All experts in everything are in Accra, engineer this, engineer that, consultant this, consultant that but they eat for nothing without noticing danger ahead in their area of profession. Experts in building construction passed by it for all these years but who cares? Some few years ago a South Korean education minister resigned his post and his reason for the resignation was due to a boat carrying school children for an excursion on one of the islands of the country capsized. Did he play a part in the organisation of the trip ? No, but because it fell under his ministry, he called it quit. No gov't official in Africa in general and Ghana in particular, will resign in such preventable fatalities. Discussions will go on radio and TV stations throughout the week but nothing will come out of it or no lessons will be learnt till another happens.
