A fire outbreak swept through parts of the Nima Market late Monday night, destroying goods and properties belonging to several traders.
The fire reportedly started around 11:20 p.m., sparking panic among traders and residents as flames spread through sections of the busy market.
Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) quickly responded to the scene and managed to contain the blaze before it could spread to nearby structures.
Their swift intervention prevented what residents feared could have escalated into a major disaster in the commercial area.
No casualties were recorded.
By Tuesday morning, affected traders and residents had returned to the market to salvage items that survived the fire, while others assessed the extent of the damage caused by the incident.
