Seven people have now been confirmed dead with 142 injured in the gas explosion, which occurred at Atomic Junction, near Madina, on Saturday night.
The fire brought in its wake huge explosions which were sighted in areas like Legon, Dome, Achimota and Spintex.
Residents in and around Madina New Road and Madina Zongo were temporarily rendered homeless as they had to flee for their dear lives.
Students of the University of Ghana, University of Professional Studies and the Presbyterian Boys Senior High School (PRESEC) were not spared either as they had to rush out to safety.
Some of the students were evacuated to the Institute of Chartered Accounts Building at Bawaleshie while others were sent to the Trinity Theological Seminary, Legon.
The cause of the gas explosion, which extended to the Total Filling Station close by, had not been established as investigations are still ongoing.
The incident caused a huge traffic and chaos on the roads leading to the scene with most drivers and passengers having to abandon their vehicles to run for their dear lives.
