Seven people including a journalist and a nursing mother are battling for their lives after suffering massive injuries due to a gas explosion that occurred at Kpassa, in the Oti Region, last Saturday, August 6, 2022.
According to reports, the explosion occurred at about 9 pm in the room of the journalist who was using a gas cylinder.
It is unclear what he was using the gas cylinder for at the time.
The report mentioned laptops, TV sets and many other properties as items that were destroyed due to the incident.
Four of the victims were reportedly rushed to the Nkwanta Municipal and St Joseph’s Hospital for treatment.
Plans are being made to transfer the victims to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital for further treatment whilst the others remain at the Kpassa Health Center and Pentecost Clinic.
Some of the victims have reportedly confirmed in an interview with Accra-based Adom FM that there was a gas leakage in a room that led to the fire explosion.
