The fire claimed the lives of Bridget Delali Hammond, 10, Winnifred Hammond, 9, and Parisah Adewumi Hammond, 2 years of age.
The children were resting at about 3:30pm after returning from school when the fire started.
They were said to have returned from the closing sessions of the second term and were sleeping in a wooden kiosk in front of their house when the event occurred, the Ghana News Agency reports.
Eyewitnesses say it took residents of the BBC neighbourhood a lot of time and effort to quench the fire but could not rescue the children.
