News reaching dicy trends reveals that fire has gutted some parts of the CMB police station in Accra.
According to news, the fire which started at about 12 pm lasted over 30 minutes. The fire destroyed office spaces, washrooms, and other parts of the facility.
The fire was dowsed by the help of traders who do business in the central business district.
However, there is a regional fire service located meters away from the police station but they failed to attend to the fire after alleged several calls from the CMB police.
According to an eyewitness who narrated the incident to Citi News, he said,
“I came to try and get bail for my brother, so while we were at the entrance to the office, we saw smoke coming out of the place. So we quickly informed those around to run from there. I then removed one of the gas extinguishers on the wall to start dousing the fire”.
“While at that, one community police also took one and joined me. The commander called the fire service office to come, but they didn’t respond. So we had to use our manpower to douse it. We went to fetch water and added detergent and all to douse the fire,” he added.
The cell inmates of the CMB are being transported to other police stations.
Some police officers have mentioned that the fire begun from one of their offices and extended to other parts of the facility yet still the cause of the fire is yet to be discovered .
