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

Although no casualty was recorded, the inferno destroyed items worth thousands of Ghana Cedis.

Items destroyed by the fire include fridges, irons, blenders, rice cookers, perfumes, pomade, and rubber products.

The unfortunate incident is said to have occurred on January 26, 2023, at about 12:00 PM, when three suspects extended their hunting expedition to the marketplace.

According to reports, the suspects were hunting rats under one of the burnt stores and set fire to smoke them out of their holes, but in the process, a massive fire erupted.

The suspects reportedly bolted from the scene after the fire had intensified.

Shop owners and customers joined in dousing the fire with sand and fire extinguishers before the fire service personnel arrived.

Meanwhile, the police at Nyankomasi Ahenkro are on a manhunt for the suspects who are on the run.
