Three people have died in a fuel tanker explosion at Onyina Nofo, in the Ahafo Ano South West District of the Ashanti Region. The Director-General of the National Disaster Management (NADMO), Eric Nana Agyemang-Prempeh, who confirmed this on Eyewitness News, said other residents have been rendered homeless as a result of the incident. About seven persons were also injured and have been sent to the hospital for treatment. “This afternoon, a tanker exploded at Onyina Nofo in the Ahafo Ano South West District. I have been here with my team and many people have been rendered homeless. A lot of houses have been burnt. Three people died, including the driver and his mate, as well as a two-year-old,” Mr. Agyemang-Prempeh said. He said NADMO had to improvise to provide a temporary shelter for displaced residents. Apart from NADMO, the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana National Fire Service were at the scene to bring the situation under control. Mr. Agyemang-Prempeh said the explosion occurred when the driver of the fuel tanker tried to negotiate a curve. “Where the village is situated is at a sharp curve, and so when the tanker negotiated a curve, it just fell to the other side. It could not control itself.” Source: citinewsroom.com Send your news stories to dannyboy744@gmail.com and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777 Post navigation Ghana To Be Removed From EU Money Laundering List; Selected As Manufacturing Hub For COVID-19 Vaccines In Africa Immigration officers withdraw from border towns over unpaid stipends
