The truck with registration number AS 8307-Z, owned by Mr. Denis Konsah and driven by Mr. Awudu Ryazan, had multiple dents on the bulk tank, which caused the spillage. Officers from other institutions, including Chief Inspector Frank Appiah and ADO I Anang Nii Otu Solomon, OIC BOST, were also in attendance.
