Former Mayor of Accra, Alfred Oko Vanderpuije, the Goil filling station and the National Petroleum Authority have been sued by some survivors of the 2015 June 3 disaster in Accra. 

The 69 victims who launched the class action are demanding damages of GH¢40 million and over One million cedis for transportation and hospital bills.

According to the victims, the action has become necessary because some of them suffered severe burns which has left them with several missed opportunities to earn a decent income.

Over 150 people died in the twin disaster at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle on June 3, 2015.

Some of the victims received compensation from the state but others indicate that they have been abandoned and neglected since the incident happened.

On June 3, 2015, Ghana was hit with the deadliest disaster in its history. One hundred and fifty-nine people who were seeking shelter at the Circle GOIL Filling Station died in an explosion after a downpour which caused massive floods in Accra.

Hundreds were also injured, while property worth millions of cedis was destroyed.
