He told TV3 in an interview that the community can no longer be inhabited by anyone due to the devastation.
“I was returning from Prestea when I heard an explosion on my way. I started moving towards the scene after a journalist had called me on phone informing me about what had happened.
“Upon reaching the area, I saw a complete devastation of the community called Apeati, as we speak the community is dead, it cannot be inhabited by anyone.
“Ten lifeless bodies were lying down as a result of the explosion. The MCE who was also informed about the news quickly dispatched excavators to the scene to rescue trapped bodies after some buildings collapsed,” he told TV3’s Geogre Kwening on Thursday January 20.
