Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, has donated GHC5,000 to each affected household in Odumase, near Konongo in the Asante Akyem Central Municipality, following a devastating explosion that claimed three lives and left several others injured.
The fire reportedly started in a shop selling dynamites and other explosives used by local miners, triggering a powerful blast that destroyed buildings and injured multiple people.
Authorities confirmed that, while the current death toll stands at three, several injured victims, including firefighters, have been treated and discharged.
However, five victims remain on admission, with medical officials considering the referral of two critically injured patients to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for advanced treatment.
During a visit to the scene on March 6, Dr Amoakohene assured the public that investigations are ongoing and that those responsible for the unauthorized sale of explosives will be arrested.
