Close to 30 people including 11 children and a pregnant woman, have died in a stampede at a church in Liberia’s Capital, Monrovia.

According to officials the incident,which occurred at a densely populated area of the capital, happened when a gang of thugs armed with knives attacked some of the congregants during a service at about 9 pm on Wednesday.

The police spokesman said one person has been arrested.

The pastor, Rev. Abraham Kromah, who was holding the ceremony and who runs a church in the New Georgia township of Monrovia, was also brought in for questioning.

The bodies have been taken to the morgue of Redemption Hospital, close to where the incident occurred in a beach area called New Kru Town.

As word spread that people were being robbed on their way out, members of the church, the World of Life Outreach Mission International, tried to get out through a narrow gate in a fence that surrounded the soccer ground, eyewitnesses said.

Liberian president, George Weah, visited the scene on Thursday and declared three days of national mourning.

The Federation of Liberian Youth, a powerful group in a nation where over 60 percent of the population is under 25, said that it was a sign of the “national security emergency facing the nation from its youthful population.”

A stampede at a similar prayer event in the center of Liberia in November 2021 killed two infants, and hospitalized several others, according to local media.

Liberia, Africa’s oldest republic, is an impoverished country that is still recovering after back-to-back civil wars between 1989-2003, which killed about 250,000 people.

Anthony Alda, a cameraman has been confirmed dead after he was served a poisonous substance. Confirming the news, Dr Mabel Darkwah, a medical superintendent at the Kwadaso SDA hospital, said Anthony was poisoned and the case has been handed over to the police for investigations.

He was rushed to the hospital at 3 this morning but he was already dead upon arrival. I confirmed his death around 3:15 and upon medical examination, it wasn’t a normal or an accidental death but a deliberate one, the medical officer stated.

Anthony, 38, had spent the Friday evening with his friends before going home at midnight. The wife, Bernice Aldah, confirmed her husband’s arrival at home and time of death to have been arranged by his friends. 

He arrived home at midnight. It was almost 1 AM when he got home. He refused to take his shower even when I helped him to get into the bathtub. He was drunk and the driver who brought him didn’t even state where he picked him from. All he said was, someone asked him to drop him off in the house and just left, the wife, Bernice said in her report.

Anthony started breathing heavily at 2 AM and was taken to the hospital at 3 but he couldn’t survive as he was confirmed dead upon arrival to the Kwadaso SDA hospital. The wife, Bernice, could not specify where her husband spent the night but all she could state was, the husband sent her a text about having drinks with some friends. 

He never specified which friends and wouldn’t even state the area he was in the message. I can’t tell which friends or which area he was in the whole of last night, Bernice said in her report.

Anthony is believed to have been poisoned by his friends but nobody knows where he was given the poison and nobody knows which drinking spot he was last night. The taxi driver who could have given information of where he picked Anthony, or who gave him Anthony to drop him home, is nowhere to be found after Bernice failed to take note of the particulars of the car. 

The Kwadaso police have already begun investigations into the case. Anthony was a camera man and the owner of Ant Video and Recording Studios at Kwadaso. He left behind, a wife and a 1-year-old baby boy.

Kumasi: 39 feet Petrol tanker explodes in Kaase after a brake failure

A 39 feet long, 11 feet wide fuel tanker carrying over 40,000litres of Petrol has exploded at Kaase, a suburb of Kumasi Metro. The tanker which was heading out of Kaase, was on its way to make a delivery when it started moving in a zigzag motion, an eyewitness said. 

Speaking on Nhyira Day break news, Akwasi Gyima, 37, was driving his motorcycle to the Kaase Community park when he saw the petrol tanker parked at a vulcanizer joint. Akwasi using the pedestal road, had to get back onto the road because of the truck which was blocking the way. 

The tanker had blocked my way on the road. It was parked at the Jam Vulcanizer joint so I even shouted at them on why they had parked on the pedestal pavement. Just five minutes after passing the tanker, I heard loud shouts. 

It had lost its brakes, moving in zigzag motion, and that caused the accident, Akwesi stated on Nhyira 104.5 FM this afternoon. The tanker according to Akwasi Gyima, suffered a brake failure when it was getting onto the Kaase main road after an alleged repair at the Jam Vulcanizing Auto Shop.

All the over 40,000 litres of fuel were destroyed. We had to use blocks and sand to block the fuel from crawling onto homes over fear of another fire, Akwasi added. 

Antonsu and Ahodwo Fire Department have been able to control the fire as investigations are still ongoing. Fire Officer Daniel Boakye, who was joined by the residents of Kaase to block the crawling petrol, narrated that, they can’t rely only on the brake failure to conclude their investigations.

Accidents do happen and relying on brake failure alone would make it incomplete. We need to confirm the cause of the accident and we will work to unveil that, Officer Daniel Boakye of the Atonsu Fire Department stated.

The driver of the tanker as well as the tanker attendants are all missing and it is unclear whether they survived the explosion or not.

It Was Not My Fault: Tricycle Rider In Apiatse Disaster lament and Drops All The Hidden Details

The tricycle rider who is alleged to have caused the accident in the deadly disaster that happened at Apiatse in the Prestea Huni Valley Municipality of the Western Region has shared a heartbreaking account of how the entire accident occurred. Since the news broke, the tricycle rider has been at the center of the entire brouhaha with many faulting him for causing the accident.

Initial reports indicated that the tricycle collided with the explosive vehicle and that triggered the entire disaster, but the rider holds a different opinion. During a visit by the vice president and his entourage to the hospital where the rider is currently on admission, he revealed all the hidden details.

He could be seen lying on the hospital bed with police officers guarding him under arrest. Since he is alleged to have caused the accident, they are waiting for him to be treated for the laws of the country to deal with him accordingly.

The rider, whose name is immediately unknown indicated that he was using the main road when another vehicle hit the back of his tricycle. He adds that he lost control and before he realized, the explosive vehicle was already close. He tried to save the situation but he was very close to the explosive vehicle and that triggered the fire. The rider believes that the vehicle that hit the back of his tricycle caused the accident and not him.

He has sustained minor injuries in the thigh and legs.The driver of the explosive vehicle is also reported to be receiving treatment at the hospital. However, he has since not been spotted. The two were saved because they noticed the veracity of the explosion earlier and decided to run for their lives. The driver for example is reported to have moved to the school in the community and pleaded with authorities to vacate the premises.

Both the motor rider and the explosive vehicle driver will be made to face the laws of the country in due course. They will have to provide answers to the entire nation on how the accident happened. If found guilty, they could face punishment including a prison term. For now, they need to be treated before their fate will be determined. It has also been established that the motor rider is a resident in the area and has been working there for many years. In the meantime, the Tarkwa government hospital is still treating many of the injured victims.

One of the survivors of the bizarre blow-up of a huge quantity of explosives in transit to a mine in the Western Region has shared his experience.

Survivor of Bogoso explosion speaks
The explosion shook a small village called Apiate in the Bogoso District of the minerals-rich Western Region.

Speaking to state-owned GBC, the survivor, a man in his late 40s, said he has lost a grandchild in the blast.

“When the fire started, my friends and I were close to the street. But we soon realised there was nothing we could do to put the fire out, so I went. When we got home, like many others, I was now concerned about what would happen if the fire spread to the light poles.

“Then we heard the loud blast. We saw nothing again. It looked as if every building in the town collapsed on the spot,” he said in Twi to reporters.

“I have lost a grandchild,” he added.

Police have said the huge explosion was caused by the detonation of an unspecified quantity of explosives in transit to a mining site on Thursday.

Police say the disaster occurred when the truck carrying the explosives collided with a motorcycle and a fire ignited, leading to the detonation of the explosives.

“Meanwhile, preliminary investigation has established that a mining explosive vehicle moving from Tarkwa to Chirano mines collided with a motorcycle resulting in the explosion.

“Most of the victims have been rescued and are on admission at various hospitals and clinics within the Bogoso Municipality,” police said in an update on the incident.

The huge explosion razed down homes and killed many people.

An intensified search and rescue led by the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and the Ghana National Fire Service on Friday have retried 17 bodies from piles of rubble.

Fifty-nine people are also receiving treatment at the Apinto Government Hospital for varying degrees of burn injuries.

“I am pleading the government and institutions to come to aid of the town. This has not affected one or two families. Everyone in the whole town has been affected. Houses have been razed to the ground; people have died. People have been injured,” the survivor pleaded.
