Reports from the Kumasi Central Market indicates that market is on fire for the second time in a week. This comes barely a five days after parts of the market was razed down destroying millions of Ghana cedis in the process. It is not clear what might have caused the fire, but XYZ News� Ashanti Regional correspondent, Isaac Bediako Justice, reports that the fire is still raging even though it has been confined. Personnel from the Fire and Police services arrived on the scene early but struggled to enter the market due to the heavy congestion. The fire is a few metres away from the main entrance which was gutted last Sunday. It is however not clear what might have cause this outbreak. Items such sugar, clothes among other wares have been lost in the fire.
