The fire, which started in the early hours of Friday, quickly spread due to flammable materials stored in shops. Firefighters faced difficulties in controlling the blaze due to obstructed access routes and delayed response times. Some traders have attributed the incident to ongoing power outages, suggesting an electrical fault may have triggered the fire.

Mahama’s visit was met with gratitude from traders, who expressed hope for urgent relief and support.
