Some residents of Kaase in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, on Sunday afternoon attempted to siphon fuel from a fuel tanker that had overturned regardless of the danger it posed to them.
People were seen running towards the tanker with their buckets in hand to fetch the fuel.
Fire Service personnel who were informed of the incident around 5:00 pm, got to the scene and dispersed the crowd, before they started a process to offload the fuel into another truck to avert any unfortunate incident.
Details about where the fuel tanker was headed and the type of fuel it was carrying are not known.
There’s also no information yet as to whether any casualty was recorded during the process.
Although this is not the first time some Ghanaians have sought to take advantage of a vehicle carrying goods that has been involved in an accident, this is one of the few times it involved a vehicle carrying fuel that could have exploded and put lives at risk.
