A building at Makola near the White Chapel in the Greater Accra Region has been destroyed in the late hours of Wednesday, October 5, 2022.

The Ghana National Fire Service confirmed the incident via their official Facebook page.

It said six (6) fire engines including a TL and Water Tanker were sent to the scene to contain the fire situation and added that accessibility to the affected shops was a challenge due to hardcore burglar proofing.
