The vice-presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has visited the Odawna market to sympathise with the traders who lost their wares and stalls in Wednesday dawn’s fire disaster.

She assessed the extent of damage the fire had caused while listening to the stories of the victims.

Prof Opoku-Agyemang called for assistance for the victims in the “restoration and rehabilitation process.”

Personnel from the Ghana Fire Service and the Ghana Police Service had to rush to the scene when the fire started, to fight it and protect lives and property.

The cause of the fire is unknown.

Most traders in the market have completely lost their wares to the fire.
