Fire guts parts of Ghana market

Accra, 03 Jan-(ANA)-Fire has destroyed parts of one of Africa's biggest markets, at Ghana's second city of Kumasi.

The fire is reported to have lasted for several hours, but so far no casualties have been reported.

A fire officer told local radio station Joy FM the market's haphazard layout made it difficult to get to the blaze.

The station said it was the second fire at the market in less than a year, and after the last blaze the authorities had promised to redevelop the site.

Kumasi's market attracts traders from all over West Africa. (ANA)
