Over 50 shops were destroyed in a major fire that swept through a market behind the VVIP Station at Kwame Nkrumah Circle on Tuesday.
Firefighters responded promptly after the blaze broke out around 10 a.m. and have now brought it under control.
Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) who were on-site battled to contain the flames and prevent them from spreading to adjacent commercial and transport structures.
The exact cause of the fire remains unclear, with investigations ongoing and relief efforts being coordinated by disaster officials.
Officials are expected to provide an update as the situation develops.
Authorities have issued a public advisory urging motorists and pedestrians to avoid the immediate vicinity of the VVIP Station.
Commuters and residents in the area are advised to expect significant disruptions to transport services and to seek alternative routes until further notice.
