Gas Explosion In Police Barracks

Constable Raymond Abaeiyei

Suhum municipality of the Eastern Region has witnessed a gas explosion that has injured four people.
Constable Raymond Abaeiyei, Rebeca Nartey (wife) and their...
two children who were victims of the incident, are currently receiving treatment at the Suhum Government Hospital.
The incident happened in the neighbourhood of a police barrack at Jehovah Rapha. Supt. Yahaya Muchiraru the Suhum Police Commander, said that the Constable was about to leave for work when his wife approached him to switch on the gas cylinder for her to cook with.
According to Supt. Muchiraru, when the cop agreed to do so, he forgot that the regulator was faulty and that caused an explosion at the porch, injuring the rest of the family members in the room. He added that the fire spread wide across the room and burnt some of their belongings.
The Fire Service team that was called in, succeeded in putting out the fire, which could have destroyed other nearby properties.
