Two sisters lost their lives when a fire engulfed their house at Bolga-Soe community in the Bolgatanga Municipality of the Upper East Region on Monday, January 24, 2022.
The deceased were daughters of the Builsa North Constituency Organiser of the opposition political party, National Democratic Congress (NDC), Agaae Robert.
According to an eyewitness, sparks from an electrical fault within the house may have been the immediate cause of the inferno.
The fire was said to have started in the kitchen of the house.
“When I got there yesterday, and they showed us where the fire started from, there were no indications, suggesting that it was through a gas or cylinder leakage. The cylinders were not touched, so, I think that it was an electrical fault,” an eyewitness narrated.
The bodies of the children, he said, have been conveyed to the Upper East Region Hospital.
