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.
