Shops Remain with Owners After Kumasi Fire Cleanup

The deputy boss of NADMO, Mr. Ahmed-Rufai Afarahim, promised traders hit by Friday's fire damage that they will keep their shops after the cleanup work ends. He explained the cleanup just removes burned stuff and makes the area ready for building again.

Mr. Afarahim spoke because social media lies claimed shop owners would lose their places when work finished. He visited the burn site where big machines cleared away remains and called these stories completely false.

He promised that every trader would come back to the same space and urged business people to ignore these fake rumors. NADMO aims to support these hurt merchants and help them bounce back quickly from their losses.

The NADMO leader praised firefighters for their brave work that stopped flames from jumping to other buildings nearby. Mr. Kwesi Ofori Agyemang, a former local official, represented the Ashanti Regional Minister and guaranteed government assistance for everyone affected.

The massive blaze erupted early Friday morning and wrecked goods and structures belonging to about 3,000 market vendors across many hundreds of shops throughout Kumasi.
