Six people, including a three-month-old baby, have been confirmed dead following a late-night fire outbreak at Abuakwa Manhyia in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality of the Ashanti Region.
The tragic incident occurred at about 12:30 a.m. on Monday, December 22, 2025, when a fire swept through a residential apartment. The cause of the fire is yet to be established.
According to the Assembly Member for Abuakwa Manhyia, Evans Opoku, the incident was reported shortly after electricity was restored to parts of the Ashanti Region following a temporary power outage on Sunday evening.
Firefighters from the Nkawie and Twedie Fire stations were dispatched to the scene and managed to bring the blaze under control. However, the victims were reportedly trapped inside the apartment at the time of the fire, leading to their deaths.
Police have since identified the charred bodies and are making arrangements to convey them to the morgue, as investigations into the cause of the fire continue.
