A decade has passed since the catastrophic June 3, 2015, twin disaster that claimed over 150 lives and left hundreds injured at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra. 

Yet, for some survivors, the pursuit of justice and accountability remains an ongoing struggle.

On that fateful evening, torrential rains led to severe flooding in Accra. 

Scores of commuters sought refuge at the GOIL fuel station near the Kwame Nkrumah Circle.

The tragedy, which has been engraved in Ghana's history as one of the worst disasters, was a result of heavy rainfall that caused flooding in various parts of the city, including Kaneshie and Graphic Road.

In the aftermath, the government established a five-member committee to investigate the causes and recommend preventive measures. 
The committee’s report highlighted factors such as poor urban planning, inadequate drainage systems, and lapses in safety protocols at fuel stations.

However, 10 years on, it appears that most of these survivors, some of who were burnt beyond recognition are still struggling to find solace in the fact that government still have their interest.

Sompa News spoke to some of the survivors who lament bitterly that life has been difficult for them since the incident. 
They say despite the rejection from families they trusted, government has completely ignored their plight.

In view of this, they have appealed to relevant and responsible authorities to come to their aid and at least support them with some compensation.

As a way of aiding the process, Sompa news spoke to the Greater Accra regional director for National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) Dennis Adjannor Nartey who assured his outfit will take up the matter.

According to him, the new national director who assumed office recently will look out for those who have not been able to receive any compensation from government including monies from the government of Benin and other donors.
 
NADMO will also be collaborating with various groups and organizations to ensure that all raised funds are used effectively to support the victims and their families.
