About 78 persons were killed after a gas station they ran to for shelter during heavy downpour went up
in flames in Acrra, Ghana yesterday June 3rd. According to Ghana's Fire
Service spokesperson, Billy Anagate, the fire started at the Neoplan
Bus station at about 5.00pm and then quickly spread to the Goil gas
station, causing an explosion which killed all the people taking refuge
there. Bodies of the victims are still being evacuated from the scene of
the incident.
Flood that resulted from the heavy downpour submerged some buildings and
vehicles causing people to take refuge in the gas station. Most
buildings that had caught fire from the explosion burned away into the
night as 'floodwater around the site hindered recovery attempts.
