REGSEC orders immediate demolition of fire-ravaged building at Koforidua Jackson Park

The Eastern Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has ordered the immediate demolition of a fire-ravaged one-storey building near the Jackson Park traffic lights in Koforidua, following concerns over its structural integrity and potential threat to public safety.

The Eastern Regional Minister, Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey, gave the directive after inspecting the affected structure and returning to the scene with security service commanders and the Municipal Chief Executives of New Juaben North and South.

Their intervention prevented the fire from spreading to adjoining properties, although the blaze destroyed several businesses and residential units within the building.
