This is, however, not the first time, the Odawna market has caught fire.

In January last year, about 80 stalls were destroyed after fire swept through the market.

Comparatively, some traders have described last night's fire as the worst ever since in the history of the market.

The pedestrian market was established for hawkers around the Kwame Nkrumah Circle enclave to accommodate traders hawking in the pavement in the area.
