Some traders in Adum, Kumasi, are blaming the recent fire outbreak in the central business district on frequent power cuts in the area, which they say may have contributed to the blaze.
The fire, which broke out in the early hours of Friday, March 21, gutted several shops housed in two-storey buildings in the bustling commercial district.
The fire at the popular Blue Light arena, close to Hello FM, started around 6 am and spread rapidly as fire fighters attempted to contain the blaze.
