Residents in Konongo who lost their homes to a fire have been told not to rebuild at the same location. This warning comes from Ebenezer Ekow Aidoo, the Municipal Chief Executive for Asante Akyem Central Municipality.
A fire broke out on Saturday evening. It spread quickly, destroying several wooden buildings located along the railway line.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the National Fire Service.
Mr. Aidoo stated that rebuilding at the affected site poses safety risks. He did not specify the exact nature of these risks in his statement.
The municipality is working to address the needs of those who were displaced by the fire. Further details on support for victims are expected.
