Fire guts late Murtala Mohammed’s family home, destroys nine rooms

A fire has destroyed nine of the 17 rooms at the family home of the late Tamale Central Member of Parliament, Murtala Mohammed, in Tamale.

Murtala Mohammed was among the eight people who lost their lives in the military helicopter crash in the Adansi area of the Ashanti Region on August 6, 2025.

He noted that while the fire destroyed nine rooms in the building, efforts by the firefighters prevented it from spreading to the remaining sections of the house.
