Fire has swept through parts of Makola Market in Accra, destroying several shops and goods worth tens of thousands of cedis.
The blaze, which broke out on Wednesday, quickly spread through sections of the busy commercial hub, sending thick plumes of smoke into the air and forcing traders and shoppers to flee for safety.
Property, including merchandise and other valuables belonging to traders, has been destroyed in the inferno. The full extent of the damage is yet to be determined.
Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) who were at the scene managed to prevent the fire from spreading to adjoining shops and structures.
