Fire gutted the Odawna market near the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange in Accra at 1 am, Wednesday dawn.

Personnel from the fire service have been able to bring the fire under control. An eye witness stated that “We saw the smoke from afar, so we thought it was the [GCB] bank but it was instead coming from the market. It took the Fire Service about two hours to end the fire.”

It is unclear whether there were any casualties beyond the destruction of traders’ wares running into thousands of Ghana cedis. There have been several fire incidents in this same market in the past.
