A devastating fire has razed a 15-bedroom house, along with cash worth GH₵100,000 at Gomoa Dominase in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.

The property, belonging to the Abusuapayin of Gomoa Dominase, Nana Kweku Botwe, was destroyed along with several other valuables in the blaze, which occurred on the afternoon of Friday, September 19, 2025.

Nana Kweku Botwe, in an interview with Adom FM, expressed frustration, stating that the tragedy could have been averted if fire tenders in nearby Winneba, Apam, and Swedru were operational.
