Last week Thursday explosion at Apeatse has left both physical and emotional scars on many people in the country, particularly victims of the incident.

One resident, Joseph Appiah, says he is devastated at the extent of destruction the explosion caused.

The 60-year-old miner told JoyNews that his 21-year-old son, Justice Appiah was among those who were killed.

He noted that his son had approached the burning vehicle to take some photos when the explosion happened, killing him instantly.

The disaster did not only take Mr Appiah’s young son; it also destroyed his newly built 10-bedroom house and a pub he has been running for decades.

This destruction has taken a toll on the miner who wishes; the blast also killed him.

“Three days before the incident, glaziers had come to install all the windows and doors of the 10-bedroom house. I have spent so much only for this to happen.

“It is heartbreaking. And I have already told people that I wish I had died to losing all of these,” he said.
