On Friday, March 21, 2025, a devastating fire engulfed the Kumasi Central Business Market, also known as Adum Market.

The tragedy resulted in significant losses, including the destruction of goods, food items, and services worth millions of Ghana cedis.

Amid the chaos, a video surfaced showing the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, expressing frustrations at the Ghana National Fire Service.

He questioned why they had arrived at the scene of the fire without sufficient water to combat the intense blaze.
