A fire has destroyed a dormitory block at Sakafia Islamic Basic School in Sawaba, Asokore Mampong Municipality, Ashanti Region.
The outbreak is thought to have begun at 2 a.m. on February 28, 2025, in one of the rooms. Senior Housemaster Umar Ibrahim is claimed to have removed all of the kids.
There were no casualties reported.
Firefighters arrived late but were able to prevent the flames from spreading to other areas of the school.
The Housemaster speaking in a media interview stated that “The fire started around 2 a.m. when we were all asleep. I sleep in a separate room, while the students stay in a six-room dormitory. The children woke me up, and by then, most of them were still asleep. The senior housemistress and I had to quickly wake them up and help them escape the fire.”
