Eyewitness reports indicate that the Ghana National Fire Service struggled to contain the blaze due to a lack of water supply, worsening the devastation.
The cause of the fire is yet to be determined, as investigations continue into whether it was accidental or a result of foul play.
This tragedy adds to a series of market fires that have plagued Ghana in recent weeks, raising concerns over fire safety in commercial hubs.
Many affected traders have called on authorities to enhance firefighting resources and establish preventive measures.
