Tens of stalls were destroyed when fire gutted the Makola No 2 market close to Agbogbloshie in Accra.

Several traders and shop owners were gathered around the market area looking on helplessly as the blaze raged on. Dozens of Police personnel are also at the scene to maintain security in the area.
