A fire has completely destroyed the Ajumako Ocheso Police Station in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District of the Central Region.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing thick smoke billowing from the building in broad daylight before flames quickly spread throughout the station. The outbreak is believed to have followed a reported power outage in the area.
Residents rushed to the scene in a bid to control the fire, but the flames had already engulfed most parts of the building.
Firefighters from the Ghana National Fire Service later arrived and battled the blaze. The Ajumako Enyan Essiam District Fire Commander, DO2 Kingsley Yeboah, told Adom News that it took about three hours to bring the fire under control.
He advised public institutions to maintain fire extinguishers and other safety equipment to help contain fires at early stages before they escalate.
The official cause of the fire is yet to be determined.
