Speaking to Atinka News assemblyman for the area, Nana Kofi Boandwoah said he rushed to the place where the explosion occurred as soon as he heard the news.
“The issue happened at a suburb of Santa Maria; it’s a polling station used for voting. Around 3 o’clock [in the afternoon], yesterday, I had a call from one of the residents complaining that there is an explosion in the area, something like a dynamite blast.”
“I had to rush to the scene, and I reported to NADMO and all the stakeholders involved. We went to the scene but unfortunately, we couldn’t even locate where the blast came from but they [residents] just heard a blast from the ground. The Police and the NIB and other security agencies are undertaking investigations into the incident.”
“I would like to appeal to the necessary quarters and the stakeholders involve to come to our aid and solving this issue once and for all because we don’t know when it’s going to happen again,” Nana Kofi Boandwoah said.
The residents however say they live in fear as a result of the explosion.
