Eyewitnesses say the blaze started when a vehicle arrived to supply fuel to the station, which is suspected to be operating without proper authorization. The Ghana National Fire Service has since confirmed the incident and is working to bring the situation under control.
Authorities are investigating both incidents to determine their causes and assess the extent of the damage.
