A fire outbreak swept through parts of the Nima Market late Monday night, destroying goods and properties belonging to several traders.
The fire reportedly started around 11:20 p.m., causing panic among traders and residents as flames rapidly spread through sections of the busy commercial area.
Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service quickly responded to the scene and managed to contain the blaze before it spread to nearby structures.
Their swift intervention prevented what many residents feared could have turned into a major disaster.
Fortunately, no casualties were recorded in the incident.
By Tuesday morning, affected traders and residents had returned to the market to salvage items that survived the fire, while others assessed the extent of the destruction caused by the blaze.
