The Accra Metropolitan Assembly in August 2018 said it had paid GH¢10, 000.00 each to 80 percent of the victims of the June 3 disaster.
The beneficiaries were among hundreds of people who sustained various degrees of injuries in an explosion at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle branch of GOIL fuel station in Accra which killed more than 150 people.
