Flood and Ghana petrol station inferno kills about 150 in Accra,Ghana

Some 150 people have died in a fire at a petrol station in Ghana's capital, Accra, officials say.

The fire on Wednesday night started as people in the city were trying to cope with two days of heavy rain, which has left many homeless and without power.
The flooding hampered rescue efforts and may have led to the fire, the BBC's Sammy Darko reports from Accra.
President John Dramani Mahama has announced three days of national mourning to begin on Monday.
It is thought that people were in the petrol station sheltering from the downpours when the fire broke out, our correspondent says.
A further 25 people have died in the floods, officials say.
President Mahama visited the burnt-out petrol station and described the deaths as "catastrophic" and "almost unprecedented".
He vowed to take tough measures to stop people building on waterways, which appeared to have been a factor in the disaster.
"I think that the time has come for us to remove houses out of water and the public should understand that it is necessary to save everybody else," he said.
Following an emergency meeting of cabinet and security chiefs on how to tackle flooding, the government says it will release £9m ($14m) to help flood victims.
Schools were closed across the capital and children asked to stay at home.

The fire broke out on Wednesday night

Survivor Yaw Aforve said he was sleeping in his car at the petrol station when he heard the fire

Bus conductor Yaw Aforve was sleeping in his vehicle which was parked at the petrol station when the fire started.
He said he jumped into the floodwaters and when he came up for air, the fire burnt his face.
"I was swept away by the water to the other side [of the road]," he added. "I saw so many people screaming and shouting."

The fire services say flooding contributed to the fire

The petrol station was totally destroyed by the fire

The flooding helped cause the fire, the Ghana fire service said.
The waters "caused the diesel and petrol to flow away from the gas station, and fire from a nearby house led to the explosion", spokesman Billy Anaglate said, the Associated Press news agency reports.

One of those who died in the blaze was a child

The child's mother was consoled by bystanders

On the scene - Sammy Darko, BBC Africa, Accra

Two days of heavy rain has brought much of the city to its knees.
There are chaotic scenes with cars being carried away by the water and many roads blocked off.
Hundreds have been trapped in their offices and some have been forced to spend the night in their cars as traffic came to a standstill.
Parts of Accra have been left without power as electricity sub-stations have been damaged in the flooding, which is making the ongoing energy shortages even worse.

Blood was seen under the truck which was carrying away the dead bodies

Cars have been washed away and roads have been blocked by the flooding

Many homes have been flooded and people have been wandering around in their nightclothes after being forced to leave their beds.
One man told a local radio station that he had put his children on top of a wardrobe to save them from the water coming into his house.
Weather forecasters are saying that more rain is on its way.
Correction 5 June: This story was amended to make it clear that 150 people are believed to have died in the petrol station blaze and 25 from the flooding.

She wrote a sweet message to her husband, David, on Instagram, thanking him for his support:

To my jewel of inestimable value who stood by me through it all I mean it when I say that I would’ve not made it this far without you! You are my ROCK. You studied with me when I lacked enthusiasm, you acted as all sorts of patients during my osce practice, you encouraged me when I lacked motivation, you dried my tears when I got emotional, you patted my back and massaged my feet after long nights of studying, we stayed up early mornings dancing to ease away my stress when you had work in a few hours, you were patient with me when I got frustrated, you kissed my forehead everyday and told me “it will be ok”, above all YOU BELIEVED IN ME when I didn’t believe in myself ..David I don’t know if you’re human because really I never met or heard of anyone like you! I count myself the luckiest woman to have you as a husband. I did this for the both of us, for our future, for our unborn children. I hope I continue to make you proud! MY KING #AdannaDavid #RCSIcommencement

How sweet! Congrats to Adanna.

What a beauty! And she was a college graduate. This is the 24 year old graduate of University of Maryland who was shot dead on Monday June 1st by her ex-boyfriend, 27 year old Donald Bricker. Mariam Folashade Adebayo broke up with Donald a few months ago but he refused to leave her alone. On the night of the murder, he'd told her to meet him so they could talk, saying he would harm himself if she didn't come. She went to see him and they began arguing in his car in a parking lot at Target. When Mariam decided she'd had enough, she got out of the car and that was when Donald followed with a gun in his hand and fired at her...twice. See photo of the murderer after the cut...
