M.anifest calls out social media trolls over Atomic Junction gas explosion

The rapper indicated that he, together with his family members had been evacuated from their home which is not far from the explosion site. He first tweeted: “There’s a raging fire in Madina!”. An hour later, the rapper indicated that, “We’ve evacuated our houses!!! Everyone has. Huge explosion and raging fire. Unbelievable. Madina”.

He however did not take it lightly on some social media users who were making ‘funny’ statements and jokes about the explosion which is believed to have caused death and torched many vehicles that were near the explosion.

He tweeted: “Even in times like this trolls with rotten hearts and empty souls feel the need to be on some bs. SMH” the rapper bemoaned.

Meanwhile, about six people have perished following the gas explosion that occurred at Atomic Junction in Accra on Saturday. This was confirmed to Citi FM by the Deputy Public Relations Officer of Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), Billy Anaglatey.

“As we speak, six people dead due to this fire,” he said, adding that about 35 others sustained various degrees of injury.

It is unclear whether all the six died from burns, following reports that a vehicle knocked two students down as people run for their lives.

There are also reports that one of the deceased died out of panic by falling off an overpass around the area.

Students of the University of Ghana and PRESEC fled for their lives. Personnel from the Fire Service battled to put off the fire, but it was completely doused on Sunday morning.
