A devastating fire outbreak at Kisseman near Achimota in the early hours of Wednesday has claimed the life of a four-month-old baby, TV3 reports.

The blaze, which swept through several apartments and shops, left significant destruction in its wake.

Firefighters from the Ghana National Fire Service struggled to contain the inferno due to the presence of highly combustible materials, which fuelled the flames.

The cause of the fire remains unclear, and investigations are ongoing.
