ASSIN SOUTH: RAT HUNTING AT MARKET CENTER GOES BAD AS 3 SHOPS BURNT TO ASHES

Three Shop owners at Nyankumase Ahenkuro in the Assin South District of the Central Region are counting their losses after their shops were engulfed by fire.

The victims, Faustina Nkrumah, 42, and Kwame Ofosu, and one other sell cosmetics and sandals respectively.

Items worth thousands of Ghana Cedis are said to have been destroyed by the inferno. Items include fridges, Irons, blenders, rice cookers, perfumes, pomades, etc.

The unfortunate incident happened on 25th January 2023 around 2:30 pm when the three suspects aged between 14 and 45 respectively extend their hunting expedition to the marketplace.

The information revealed they were hunting rats under one of the burnt stores and the fire occurred in the process.

Meanwhile, all efforts to quench the fire proved futile.

The residents, therefore, appealed to the government to set up a fire station in the district since this is 3rd fire incident in 3 months but they resort to other districts for fire tenders.

Meanwhile, one of the victims, Faustina Nkrumah speaking in an interview with uniquenewsgh  OBAAPA ABK threatened to commit suicide after killing her 4 children because she cannot contain the pain as the store was the source of living for the family.

A. D. O. 2 Robert Darko Ntoro from Mankesim Fire Station advised people to be careful when dealing with fire.
