An alleged dynamite blast at Santa Maria in Accra has left two persons injured, Rainbowradioonline.com has gathered.
The cause of the blast is yet to be determined but the incident has left residents in fear.
The explosion is said to have happened around 3 pm on Tuesday.
A lady is said to have lost her toenails while a pregnant woman who attempted to rescue the said lady fell unconscious.
The assemblyman for the area Nana Kofi Boandwoah commenting on the issue said “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 involved to come to our aid and solve this issue once and for all because we don’t know when it’s going to happen again,” he added.
