He was rushed to the\u00a0Tema General\u00a0Hospital and after some few checks on him, the doctors pronounced him dead. So it&#8217;s an unfortunate situation, and we are really sad. They have not confirmed the cause of death. He is a Muslim so when his family had the news, they demanded for the body, so that is the arrangement we are doing now, to send his remains to Kumasi where his family is,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Background\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, October 7, a gas explosion occurred at Atomic junction at Madina in Accra, which killed seven people and injured 132 others.<\/p>\n<p>The area around the epicenter of the explosion is known to be a hotbed of activity with a commercial bus [trotro] station, taxi rank, other fuel stations and traders located in the immediate vicinity.<\/p>\n<p>Police and fire service investigations are yet to be concluded to ascertain the actual cause of the explosion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>By: Anass Seidu\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The driver of the gas tanker that exploded at\u00a0Atomic junction\u00a0in Accra a fortnight ago,\u00a0 who escaped unhurt, Yussif Seidu, has died mysteriously after becoming unconscious during a meeting of\u00a0LPG truck drivers.
