“We visited some of our customers at the hospital and those who were discharged, we visited them at home. We assisted some of them with their hospital bills."

“The main thing started on Saturday and Sunday evening. We have accepted everything, and we have apologised to the victims,” he said.

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) closed down the East Legon branch of the Marwako Restaurant, following allegations of food poisoning on social media by persons who claimed to have eaten there.
