Initial Reports from the raging inferno at the Odorna Market in Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra indicate that so far more than 80 shops have been burnt down.
Secretary of the AMA Task force, Richard Mensah who is part of the team trying to bring the inferno under control said the number given is a rough estimate of the destruction which has been caused by the fire.
The cause of the fire remains unknown but reports indicate that it started this evening.
Nana Appiah Mensah is currently in deep waters ever since the news broke that has been declared wanted in Ghana and off the shores of the country after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Earlier today another news broke that his wife’s shop was emptied at night with three Tundra’s and a KIA pickup. According to reports, the once famous Rozy’s collection owned by Rose Tetteh, NAM1’s wife has been emptied. From the reports, the shop was emptied very late in the middle of the night two weeks ago.
Just this afternoon an eye witness sent us an image of the Zylofon Media branch at Kisseman 200 mitres away from GIMPA being brought down for reasons we are yet to know .

Just yesterday, The acting PRO of Menzgold, Nii Armah Amarteifio revealed that the life of the company’s CEO, Nana Appiah Mensah is currently in danger.
Speaking on Accra FM on Wednesday, January 9, 2019, he explained that for that reason, NAM1’s present location is only known to only a few people.
IF there is one artiste who has experienced equal parts of applause and ridicule then it is one of Lynx Entertainment’s new artiste, KiDi.
While he is loved for his looks, voice and fashion style, he is ridiculed by some for his lyrics.
When he dropped his current song, ‘Thunder’, it was well received but there were those who felt a line in the song such as, If I leave you, make thunder fire me, was not right.
For people such as Adom FM’s presenter, Mike 2 and Pastor Kumchacha, the young man had cursed himself.
However, when Showbiz recently caught up with him in the Lynx Studios, KiDi said, “it is unfortunate that some section of Ghanaians want to bring into being what is not.
“Music is art, it is literature, we exaggerate; the fact that Romeo said he would die for Juliet did not mean he would go and stand on the battlefield for her, he was expressing the extent to which he loved her.
“See, people should stop sabotaging our music and appreciate us more, a Nigerian will do a song and say ‘make water carry me dey go, far away’ and we will jump on it and use it for all kinds of things but a Ghanaian does it and it is an issue. Thunder doesn’t even kill, it is lightning that does.
“A Nigerian will sample a Ghanaian song and we will give it all kinds of compliments but a Ghanaian will sample a Nigerian song and there is chaos, why are we like that”,? he queried.
He continued, “I do music for the people; I don’t know why people consciously do that, read certain meanings into our music and draw certain conclusions. It is not healthy,but we do not have control of over it, so we will take it like that.”
In all this, KiDi, real name Dennis Nana Dwamena, has dreams of becoming one of the greatest artistes in Ghana.
“I want to be that artiste that will be impossible to do without, like someone else’s album will not be complete without me on it, a show will not sell if I am not on that bill. Yes, that is who I want to be.”
He graduated from the University of Ghana, Legon, in 2016 with a degree in Economics and Information Studies but KiDi said his focus was on music.
“For now, I just want to put all my energy and resources into the music, I have a lot on my plate now that continuing my education will not be possible.”
In as much as he thanked the media for their support, he encouraged them also to be writing more positive stories and not skew their words for their own interest.
“The support of the media has been great, I thank you all for being with me since day one but please, the twisting of words and negative headlines is too much.
“You grant an interview and the next day, the headline is just crazy but in all we appreciate,” he said.
The 2018 VGMA?Highlife Song of the Year winner, is an old student of the Accra Academy.
He looks up to people such as Justin Timberlake, Kojo Antwi, Chris Brown, Bruno Mars and Usher.
There is currently growing disquiet in the military by some soldiers purported to be loyal to governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) who feel they have been used and dumped by the party whilst their colleagues who did nothing towards the 2016 election victory are enjoying, MyNewsGh.com has filed.
Politician and businessman, Kennedy Agyapong who is mad at the development alleges that these persons are rather being victimized because persons aligned to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) have been given juicy positions which they are using to bully the others.
“Look at the kind of appointments they have done at the military. Our people are so down… very very disappointed. Military, what inputs went in? Who advised the Minister that way? Where is the National Security Minister? So soon we have forgotten where we came from and how NDC treated us? The military officers who helped the course of the NPP, they are victimizing all of them. Soldiers loyal to NPP are being mocked in the barracks Nitiwul if you do not know I am telling you”, he revealed in an interview on Net2 TV.
He wondered what kind of consultation was done by the Defense Minister before making such appointments indicating that if Dominic Aduna Bingab Nitiwul is not aware he should seek information because the party used the soldiers to their advantage in averting what was planned by the NDC prior to the prior, during and after the 2016 elections.
“The army men who sacrificed their lives to help us are being victimized…oh Lord have mercy…this man Mahama has appointed as his security head, if not for Air Marshal Michael Samson-Oje NDC was not prepared to cede power even after we had won. He armed himself with weapons that could penetrate armored cars but our boys in the military resisted any evil plot. His appointment tells you the evil plot Mahama has”, he said.
“We used these people, we did the mafia work but today but look at the bogus appointments they have done. The soldiers who supported us are completely down. Is it a crime to help the NPP?” he asked.
