The three had traveled to Koforidua to make arrangements for ‘Adam The Eve’ premiere expected to happen on Saturday, October 14 at Mac-Dic Royal Plaza Hotel.

Mina Lawani, boss of Minalyn Touch Makeover narrating their ordeal to Zionfelix.net disclosed that they had to park their cars on the Madina-Adenta highway and run away due to the heat the explosion generated into the air.
