A devastating fire has engulfed two-storey buildings housing numerous shops in the central business district of Adum in Kumasi.
The blaze, which broke out at the well-known Blue Light arena near Hello FM, started at approximately 6:00 am and spread rapidly as firefighters struggled to bring it under control.
Panic-stricken traders were forced to break into their locked shops to salvage their goods as the fire raged.
Many of the affected businesses specialise in phone accessories, mobile phones, jewellery, and clothing, with traders desperately attempting to rescue their merchandise before the flames consumed their properties.
