Dozens of residents in Nima-Moke, a slum in the Asokore Mampong Municipality of the Ashanti Region have been displaced following a fire incident that ravaged their homes.

The fire, which began around 4:30 p.m., destroyed over 50 wooden structures and properties of the residents.

The blaze spread quickly due to the presence of highly combustible materials in the area.

The community has served as an abode for several migrants from northern Ghana seeking better opportunities down south.
