The secondhand clothing section at the Kumasi Central Market in the Dr Mensah area has been razed down by fire, destroying almost everything on site.
The cause of the fire which started around 10 pm on Good Friday is yet to be established.
An eye witness told Graphic Online that a security man on duty underrated the fire which started very small as he attempted to put it out himself.
He allegedly only resorted to the help of fire service personnel after it has escalated as passersby stood in awe.
The Ashanti Regional Fire Service Commander, ACFO Joshua Nguah, said people should learn to report fire cases early and stop underrating fires.
