A man identified as Quaicoo, widely known as Oboy, has been pointed to by Deputy Minister Ekow Vincent Assafuah as the potential mastermind behind the devastating blaze.
Speaking passionately on Asempa FM, the deputy minister suggested that the act was not random but deeply political, fueled by tensions from the recently concluded general elections. "Anybody who knows Kantamanto will tell you that these are people who live as one community," Mr.
Assafuah remarked, lamenting how the market's unity had been disrupted.
He revealed that Quaicoo, a polling agent for the opposition NDC, had recently fallen on hard times following a divorce that left him financially dependent on market associates. "But due to politicking…" he added, leaving the implications to linger.
