About 900 female students of the Northern School of Business (NOBISCO) have been displaced after a devastating fire outbreak destroyed their dormitory on Wednesday, January 28, 2026.
The fire, which gutted the girls’ dormitory facility, affected students from four houses, Aggrey, Arthur, Ali, and Gbewaa. Although no casualties were recorded, the incident caused extensive damage to personal belongings, including beds, mattresses, books, uniforms, and other essential items, leaving many students distressed.
Reports indicate that the fire broke out while students were in class, prompting them to rush back to the dormitory in an attempt to salvage their belongings. Despite their efforts, the blaze spread rapidly, overwhelming the facility.
The Ghana National Fire Service responded to the scene and worked for several hours before successfully bringing the fire under control. The cause of the fire is yet to be officially determined.
School authorities and emergency services are expected to assess the full extent of the damage and make arrangements to support the affected students.
