Ghanaians are saddened by the story of the painful and sudden death of a young and vibrant police officer and his family at his residence at Apromase in the Ashanti Region.
The officer by name, Sergeant Owusu Asante Baafi, together with his wife, Yaa Achiaa, and their 3-month-old baby were burnt to death.
The disaster is said to have occurred Sunday night. It is unclear what caused the fire but personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) were at the scene to begin investigations.
Eyewitnesses believe the fire outbreak that has caused the life of an entire family might have been an electrical fault.
