“All of a sudden we saw flames coming from the house so we quickly rushed to the scene to help put off the fire but we had called the fire service earlier,” an eyewitness is quoted as saying.
“We heard Mansa shouting for help but the bathroom was at where the fire was coming from, there was little we could do.”

He further urged the Ghana National Fire Service to immediately begin investigations into the real cause of the fire, while assuring the deceased’s family of his full support.
