5 reported dead, many others missing following explosion at quarry site in Anto Aboso

Five persons including one Chinese national are reported dead following an explosion at a quarry site in Anto Aboso in the Western Region.
The explosion which also affected surrounding communities in the Shama District has since left many shocked as many people are counting their losses.
According to eyewitnesses, the explosion occurred around 11 p.m. on Saturday, September 9 at the Omni Quarry site.
The cause of the explosion is yet to be established but bodies of some workers who were at the site have been found scattered around.
Some of the bodies include Chinese nationals who are yet to be identified due to the dismembered nature whilst three Ghanaians have been confirmed dead.
Police and officers of the National Fire Service and the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) have since reported to the scene.
According to reports, the workers kept some explosives they use in their line of work near where they sleep.
This, some sources say, may have exploded on their blind side killing and maiming others.
A preliminary investigation has found that the owner of the quarry was part of those who were reported dead.
Authorities say the company was given a license to mine but not for keeping explosives.
