Three children have been burnt to death in a fire incident at Nmai Djorn near Adenta in Accra.
The children, all of whom are under the age of ten years, were sleeping in a kiosk when the incident occurred.
The cause of the fire is not immediately known but the father of the children says he returned from work last night to find his kiosk on fire.
Albert Alosay told Joy News attempts to rescue his three children were unsuccessful, as the fire had engulfed the entire structure, burning him as well.
He told Joy News’ Sammy Darko from the hospital where he is been treated for burns, that his wife had gone to church leaving the children behind.
The distraught father said when he arrived at the fire scene, his children were still crying for help and not being able to bear the agony of their cry, he tried, albeit in vain, to brave the fire and rescue the kids.
But it was a mission impossible and all three kids perished in the inferno.
Meanwhile, the Ghana National Fire Service and the Adenta police have begun investigations into the incident.
