DEVASTATING FIRE ENGULFS KANTAMANTO MARKET IN ACCRA, GHANA
Top News

ACCRA, Ghana — A massive fire swept through Kantamanto Market in the early hours
of Jan. 2, destroying more than 100 shops and causing millions of cedis in
damages. The blaze, which began around 1:19 a.m. local time, has left traders
reeling as firefighters from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) worked
tirelessly to bring the flames under control.
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) cut power to the area to aid firefighting
efforts, but the fire spread rapidly, consuming nearby structures, including the
Ghana Commercial Bank building. Alex King Nartey, a spokesperson for the GNFS,
described the situation as “very serious” in an interview with JoyNews.
TRADERS COUNT THEIR LOSSES AFTER THE FIRE
The fire at Kantamanto Market is expected to have significant economic
repercussions for traders and the local economy. As one of Accra’s largest
markets, Kantamanto is crucial to the city’s commercial landscape. The
destruction of goods and infrastructure will undoubtedly affect supply chains
and livelihoods in the short term.
The fire has left many traders devastated, with some losing their entire
livelihoods overnight.
“I have lost everything. Attempts to rescue some of my goods proved futile. I
didn’t get one pesewa from here. I collected a loan to do this business. We will
rise from these ashes. It’s not easy. My wife also sells ladies’ clothing; she
has lost everything,” said Joshua Tetteh, speaking to Citi Newsroom.
CALLS FOR ACTION
While some traders suspect arson, the GNFS has stated that the exact cause of
the fire is yet to be determined. Authorities now face the challenge of
investigating the cause and implementing measures to prevent such incidents in
the future. Calls for better infrastructure, improved safety protocols, and
support for affected traders are growing louder in the wake of this disaster.
