Falling oil tank kills two farmers

Adeiso (E/R), April 10, GNA – Mr Kwaku Asare, 45 and Nana Yaw, 25, both farmers of Oppong Villa near Adeiso in the West Akim District of the Eastern Region, met their death on Good Friday when a tank containing palm oil being conveyed from Kwae to Tema slipped from an articulated truck and fell on them.
