The latest inferno gutted some parts of the inner perimeter of the new Makola shopping mall. The Ghana Fire Service put out the flames, but traders say thousands of cedis were lost to the fire.

Investigations are currently underway to ascertain the cause of the fire outbreak as some traders suspect an electrical fault.
