According to one of the workers
at the Canteen, the fire was caused by gas leakage after the canteen staffs
have finished preparing the day's menu. The worker who looked terrified by the
incident told GNA Sports that she was not aware of the leakage adding that she
only heard aloud noise, which was followed by the fire.
She said the fire started a
round 9:30 A.M. and was put off by eye-witnesses and workers around the stadium
before Fire Service personnel arrived to put it out completely around.
Speaking to the GNA Sports,
Madam Rebecca Ackom, operator of the Canteen said as
a result of the fire she lost kitchen equipment as well as stocks of foot items
including bags of rice, four cartons of chicken and a carton of fish. She could
not, however, tell the total cost of items destroyed in the accident.
