Meanwhile, the Western Region Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko Mensah, claims that the business responsible for the explosion was operating without a licence. As a result, he stated, the company's owners will be held accountable for the tragic consequences of their actions, which resulted in the explosion.

Emmanuel Owua-Awie, Assembly member for the Anto Aboso Electoral Area in the Shama District of the Western Region, has revealed that approximately GH55,000 has so far been discovered at the Anto Aboso quarry site, which suffered a tragic explosion over the weekend.

An explosion at a quarry operated by STA-ADDSAMS Enterprise, formerly known as Omni Quarry, killed at least five people and critically injured five more.

Three Chinese nationals have gone missing. All efforts to locate them have failed since then.

Those who were injured are being treated at various medical institutions around the region.

In an interview with Nhyiraba Paa Kwesi Simpson, the host of Connect FM’s Omanbapa morning programme, Assemblymember Emmanuel Owua-Awie said that during the search following the explosion, they discovered GH55,000 belonging to the quarry owners.

“During the search, some guys started picking money from the site. One of the guys saw huge sums of money. He initially took part of the money to a safe place and decided to come back for more.

“Whilst he was in the process of taking more, the police officers on site spotted him and retrieved all the money. It was counted and over GH¢55,000 was realized,” he indicated.

He goes on to say that some of the money has subsequently been utilised to pay the hospital costs of the injured victims.

“It was even good we found that money because it’s the same thing we have been using to pay all the hospital bills of those injured,” he added.

Meanwhile, some party operatives are pleased with the outcome thus far.

Two people were detained in Asokore Mampong Municipality for allegedly attempting to double register in the current Limited Voters’ Registration Exercise.

According to Municipal EC official Angela Afriyie Osei, the two suspects were apprehended after being validated as people existing in the Electoral Commission’s database.

As a challenge to the procedure, Madam Angela Afriyie mentions duplicate registration and efforts to register minors.

“The challenge we have been facing is about the double registration. At times when applicants come and we interrogate them, they insist he or she hasn’t registered before but when they go to the biometric column then it will come out that the person has registered.

“At the moment, we’ve handed two to the police. On male and a female. Another issue is also with the registration of minors,” she indicated.

Meanwhile, some party operatives are pleased with the outcome thus far.

“So far, we are satisfied with the entire process except some few challenges but that aside, we are very much comfortable with the process. All in all, everything is great,” an agent told JoyNews.

Black Sherif prophesy: Prophet Nigel Gaisie makes u-turn

"We see in bits and pieces, and what I saw in the spiritual realm is Sherif Black, but any logical person can make projections and deductions from it." If I hear a prophecy about Ako and my name is Akosua, I will definitely act on it," he said in parables. Regardless, the man of God exhorted those who were convinced of the prophecy to fast and pray in order to avoid death. Prophet Gaisie, who dismissed charges that his doom prophecies concerning celebrities are only for fame, stated that he will quit making them public in order to prevent insults and derision.

Nigel Gaisie, the founder and head of the Prophetic Hill Chapel, has stunned Ghanaians by backtracking on his prophecy regarding artist Black Sherif.

Prophet Gaisie had a vision in which he witnessed the mother of musical sensation Black Sherif sobbing excessively in a post on his official Facebook page.

As a result, he pushed the musician to seek safety before December, implying his impending death.

However, in a recent interview, Prophet Gaisie clarified that the prophecy is for a particular Sherif Black and not the Konongo-based performer.

“We see in bits and pieces, and what I saw in the spiritual realm is Sherif Black, but any logical person can make projections and deductions from it.” If I hear a prophecy about Ako and my name is Akosua, I will definitely act on it,” he said in parables.
