The blaze, which erupted late Tuesday night, destroyed more than 200 shops while no casualties were recorded; losses are estimated to run into millions of cedis.

Hon John Darko underlined since the assembly has all the victims’ data, all the affected traders will receive their stores and shops back after the completion of the market.
Some of the traders who spoke to the press after commending the MP for the support implored him to walk with his promise to make sure that the affected traders get their shops back after completion.
