The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for La Nkwantanang-Madina, Ibrahim Faila Fuseini, has alleged that the recent fire outbreak near the Madina Redco Flats is part of a calculated scheme by a private individual to seize state-acquired land.
According to the MCE, the August 3 blaze - which destroyed numerous makeshift wooden and metal structures at Ritz Junction - is the third fire incident in the same location within just three months.
He suspects the recurring fires are not accidental. "All indications suggest that this is a deliberate act by one person.
Within three months, there have been three fire outbreaks in the same location," Fuseini said in an interview with Citi News. "After each incident, this individual appears to engage the Lands Commission in an effort to clear the area." The fire, which broke out around midday, consumed shelters used for both residential and commercial purposes.
