\n
A fire outbreak at the Kwashieman Cluster of Schools in the early hours of today has raised alarm, as the facility housed ballot boxes from the Ablekuma North constituency.<\/p>\n
The blaze, which started around 1:40 a.m., originated in the school\u2019s library, where the ballot boxes were stored.<\/p>\n
According to Alex King Nartey, the PRO of the Fire Service, the cause of the fire is yet to be determined, but investigations are underway.<\/p>\n
In a twist to the incident, additional ballot papers were found burned outside the school premises after the fire.<\/p>\n
The discovery has fueled speculation about the circumstances surrounding the blaze.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the operations commander and his team have made progress to extinguish the fire.<\/p>\n
The personnel have also salvaged adjoining buildings to prevent the fire from spreading to other parts of the school.<\/p>\n
As at the time of this report, blaze has been confined after two hours of fire fighting, but yet to be fully extinguished.<\/p>\n
Authorities are working to piece together the sequence of events and assess the extent of the damage to the election materials.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
