Scores of people have been rendered homeless after fire gutted a slum community called Abuja near the CMB in Accra.
The victims, including pregnant women and nursing mothers, are largely head porters and petty traders who ply their trade at Kantamanto and its environs.
Their wooden makeshift structures serving as accommodation and kiosks were consumed by the devastating fire which started around 8pm Tuesday.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.
But Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Fire Service, Prince Billy Anaglatey said the fire outbreak in the area was not a surprise to the fire service.
