The reputation of the Ghana Police service is not exactly the best around but if the allegation being made by a survivor of the recent Kintampo accident is true, then they’ve stooped to an entirely new level.
According to the survivor of the accident, he had a huge sum of money with him during the accident which he now cannot find.
Almost every other day a ghastly road accident hits this country, leading to the deaths of scores of Ghanaians. Everyone knows road accidents disproportionately take Ghanaian lives but still nothing is done about our poor roads which make driving conditions atrocious.
Thus we often have to contend with needless tragedies such as the latest ghastly road accident, which occurred in the early hours of today.
A Ghanaian man of God, Reindolph Oduro Gyebi is said to have prophesied the Kintampo ghastly accident, that happened yesterday–a week ago.
Per a video that has emerged online, the man of God speaking on Kumasi-based Abusua Fm is heard saying that a group of school children will head to Kintampo for an excursion and all of them will die.
Of course, this is nonsense to every reasonable person: because, not all the children died as he said–and secondly, Kintampo has several tourist attraction sites so just mentioning that some school children will die on an excursion to Kintampo without any time frame or specific location is as widely opened as saying, someone people will get malaria in Chorkor, a suburb of Accra.
Also, his prophecy seems to have been about a road accident–and this was not.
The Metros Mass Transit Company has been sued by the owner of the other car involved in the accident on the Kintampo road three weeks ago that claimed over 60 lives.
The Metro Mass bus travelling from Kintampo town to Tamale, was speeding at a frightening rate, and crashed headlong into the incoming truck, which was loaded with a cargo of Tomatoes.
When you let these superstitious beliefs get to your head too much, this is what happens- when anything that happens has to be attributed to the supernatural.
It’s a backwards mentality that never leads to any problems being solved in this country. In this case we know the driver was speeding, the car was possibly overloaded, and he might or might not have ignored brake problems– instead we are to discount all these and believe the gods did it, so no measures would be taken to ensure these problems do not lead to an accident on such a scale again.
One of the survivors of the horrific Kintampo accident has corroborated the earlier account that the bus developed a fault prior to its crash, but then came forth with his own bizarre theory of why the accident occurred.
According to the survivor, identified only as Charles, three people on board the bus where carrying human parts back to their hometown for burial, and their failure to follow procedure by undertaking rituals before boarding the bus is what led to the accident.
One of the survivors of the horrific crash that occurred in Kintampo in the Brong Ahafo region has opened up on what led to the accident that has killed 61 people so far, with 25 wounded, some in critical condition.
Identified as Sumeila, the crash survivor, who has lost both legs- told Joy News that the accident occurred because the driver was speeding way above any reasonable limit, because he wanted to make another run that same day.
An eight month old baby is one of the survivors of the horrific Kintampo crash that has claimed over sixty lives so far, and left many others injured.
The baby is one of many survivors currently on admission at the Kintampo Government Hospital after sustaining injuries in the crash.
A bloody event occurred Wednesday night when a Metro Mass Transit bus crashed into a cargo truck loaded with tomatoes, causing a bloody accident that has led to 63 deaths (so far) and left many others injured.
The accident occurred around the Kintampo waterfalls during the MMT bus’ journey from Kintampo to Tamale. The bus developed a brake fault, but the driver decided to continue despite being unable to fix it.
