Two fishermen burnt to death at Aboadze

Two teenage fishermen met their death at Aboadze when a pre-mix fuel they were pouring from a plastic container caught fire burning them beyond recognition.

The deceased are Egya Yaw Essoun, 14 and Egya Epowano, 15.

The Chief Fisherman of Aboadze, Nana Adam Eduafo, confirmed the tragic incident to Ghana News Agency on Monday.

The two fishermen were members of Nyame Na Onyim Number One Canoe who were pouring the pre-mix fuel from a plastic container into a gallon to power the outboard motor which would be used during a fishing expedition.

However, the fuel ignited a naked fire in the room.

The incident occurred around 1130 hours last Saturday July 26, and their corpse had since been deposited at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital while police are carrying out investigations.
