Accra on December 22 was hit by yet another major fire at a gas station near the Ghana International Trade Fair Centre which has claimed ten lives so far and injured many.

The National Petroleum Authority said the explosion was caused by 'irresponsible human error'.

Chief Executive Officer of the NPA, Moses Asaga, explained that two bolts which should have tightened the lid on the gas tanker were missing.

Some of the survivors of the explosion which occurred at the Louis Gas LPG station on December 22 are still on admission at the La General Hospital and 37 Military Hospital in Accra.
