Reinforcement of resources and personnel have been dispatched to the area to assist in the handling of the incident.

We continue to urge the public to remain calm as we manage the situation.

Ghana Police Service

I have just received a briefing on the circumstances that led to an explosion in Apiate near Bogoso, in the Western Region, resulting in the loss of lives and the destruction of properties belonging to residents. It is a truly sad, unfortunate and tragic incident, and I extend, on behalf of Government, deep condolences to the families of the deceased, and I wish the injured a speedy recovery.

The Police, Armed Forces and the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) are co-ordinating efforts to contain the situation, and I have also instructed NADMO to see to it that rapid relief is brought to residents of the town.

Government will spare no effort to ensure a rapid return to a situation of normalcy for residents of Apiate.

Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo (Ghana's President)

I see Buhari visiting Ghana with his Entourage despite similar happenings in Nigeria.

I see him promising billions of dollars to the victims, I see Osibanjo making a statement about the explosion and praying for the victims, I see him calling it a black day and encouraging the whole world to mourn for the dead.

This I have seen.

The incident is unfortunate.

Sadly, those going there own way, minding their own businesses would still be affected, even when they do not know or have a hand in whatever transpired between the motorcyclist and the tanker driver.

May we not be unfortunate.
