Today marks the fourth anniversary of Ghana’s worst disaster, the June 3 Twin disaster, which occurred in Accra, 2015.
In the middle of a heavy flooding and rainstorm mid-night Wednesday, June 3 2015, an explosion at Kwame Nkrumah Circle Branch of the GOIL filling station in the capital Accra, killed at least 150 people that plunged the whole nation into an official three-day national mourning.
The streets of the capital from the accident scene was littered with bodies while some were found in drains taking authorities weeks to clear the remnants of the disaster.
The morgues were congested with bodies and hospital authorities were overwhelmed with casualties from Ghana’s worst ever disaster that happened on June 3.
What many Ghanaians have coined the Black Wednesday two years ago has imprints of sadness, and sorrow till date and likely to leave indelible scars in the minds of Ghanaians.
Meanwhile, four years on, the National Disaster and Management Organisation(NADMO) is yet to settle outstanding compensation packages of the victims.
