About 100 passengers on board an Accra-bound train were thrown into a state of shock when the train derailed from its tracks.
The cause of the accident is yet to be established but there are claims that the nature of the tracks played a role.
At least three people have been confirmed injured but the injuries were minor, officials have said.

Details are scanty on the accident, but the injured according to reports, have been sent to an unnamed hospital.
Photos shared on Twitter showed a coach painted in the national colours hanging on the side of the tracks. Even though illegal, there are a number of squatters living close to most rail tracks, a situation that has raised safety concerns over the years.
Train accidents across the continent have claimed lives as was the case in Cameroon where over 70 people died with scores injured in an accident. South Africa, Egypt and Benin have all recorded similar accidents involving trains.
