THE three family members who got burnt in an explosion at a house at Asylum Down in Accra last Tuesday have been buried at the Awudome Cemetery in Accra.
The deceased are David Nii Teiko Ammah, 64, Gifty Ammah, 51, and Phoebe Ammah, 10.
The burial ceremony was conducted at the Ernest Bruce Memorial Methodist Church at Adabraka in Accra.
It was attended by people from all walks of life, including the Greater Accra Regional Minister and Member of Parliament for Osu Klottey, Nii Armah Ashietey, and the Accra Metropolitan Chief Executive, Mr Alfred Okoe Vanderpuije.
Nii Ashietey expressed his condolence and that of the government to the bereaved families.
He said the God who gave was the same God who took away what He had given and would console every sorrowful soul and give everyone the strength to stand the situation that had befallen the families.
Mr Ashietey pledged the government’s support for the families.
Mr Vanderpuije also expressed his condolence to the families and said nobody predicted the incident but since it had happened, the government would support the bereaved families.
He prayed that such an incident should not occur again in the two families which were hit by the catastrophe.
He used the occasion to advise Ghanaians to be cautious with electricity and fire and use all possible means to protect themselves so that incidents like that would not occur, adding that “prevention is better than cure”.
On behalf of the government, both the MP and the Mayor of Accra presented GH¢1,000 and some food items to the families to support the burial.
The Head of the David Ammah Family, Oblii Ammah, expressed the profound gratitude of both families to the government and all sympathisers and said the bereaved families appreciated the government’s support.
