Doctors from the Tamale Teaching Hospital have confirmed that two of our staff members were unable to survive," the statement, signed by Halifax Ansah-Addo, Communications Director at Zylofon cash, said.

Eight people were reported dead in the accident and as many as 20 people were also reported to have sustained various degrees of injury.
