1,401 affected in Odawna Rubber Market fire - NADMO
The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) revealed that 1,401 people have been registered as victims of the fire that destroyed parts of the Odawna Rubber Market in Accra. The registration exercise is ongoing and the figure was recorded as of the second day of the exercise, which began on June 30, 2026.
The fire broke out in the early hours of June 29, 2026, completely destroying several structures. Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service were initially delayed in accessing the scene due to flooding on the access roads, following heavy rainfall the night before the incident, which began on the evening of June 28. After two days of the exercise, officials confirmed that 1,401 people had been registered, with 1,368 registered at the central collection point and 33 others reporting directly to the NADMO office in Korle Klottey. The figures will be cross-checked with market leadership to prevent duplication and ensure that only genuine victims benefit from possible support packages.
