Residents of Krofuom, a suburb of Kumasi have allegedly attacked a fire tender amidst a blaze that destroyed Trinity Television and an adjoining church.
The aggressive crowd forced firefighters to flee, while the fire caused damage worth millions of cedis.
Police intervention was necessary to call in another fire tender to handle the situation.
The fire, which began around 9 am on Friday, reduced an 18-year-old church building to rubble, destroying a television studio and related facilities.
