A devastating fire has claimed the lives of two young siblings, Godfred Ofori, 4, and Jeremiah Ofori, 2, at Bibiani-Adzenkye in the Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai Municipality of the Western North Region.
According to the deceased mother Philomena Opoku Donkor, the inferno broke out in their home late Thursday afternoon, spreading rapidly and engulfing their house.
Despite efforts from neighbours and nearby residents to rescue the children, the flames intensified, making it impossible for anyone to reach the minors in time.
The fire service, which arrived at the scene shortly after being alerted, worked tirelessly to bring the blaze under control.
However, the two children were found lifeless inside the house once the fire was extinguished.
According to the Bibiani Fire Service Commander, DO2 Enock Tetteh, the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Meanwhile, the bodies of the young siblings have been sent to the Bibiani Government Hospital for autopsy and further examination.
