One of the shop owners, Ibrahim Jawab, painfully watched on as the fire consumed his bundles of money.
“Actually, we wanted to take it to the bank but because of the weekend, it is my brother who usually takes it to the bank but he traveled to Walewale for work so he came yesterday in the afternoon and you know usually bank doesn’t work during the weekend so we left the money so that on Monday we can take it to the bank but unfortunately this incident happened and everything was burnt,” he said.
The spokesperson for the Ghana National Fire Service in the Northern Region, ADOII Baba Hudu, confirming the fire at the scene, said the report got to them at 5:08am and they dispatched men to the scene.
