Six people, including a three-month-old baby, have been confirmed dead following a devastating fire outbreak at Abuakwa Manhyia in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality of the Ashanti Region.
The incident occurred at about 12:30 a.m. on Monday, December 22, 2025, when a fire swept through a residential apartment.
The cause of the fire is yet to be established.
According to the Assembly Member for Abuakwa Manhyia, Evans Opoku, the incident was reported shortly after power was restored to parts of the Ashanti Region following a temporary outage on Sunday evening.
Firefighters from the Nkawie and Twedie Fire stations were dispatched to the scene to bring the blaze under control.
However, the victims were reportedly trapped in the apartment at the time of the fire, leading to their deaths.
The police have since identified the charred bodies and are making arrangements to convey them to the morgue, as investigations into the incident continue.
