Two children have been rescued after a fire broke out at the family house of the late former Tamale Central MP, Murtala Ibrahim, at Dohinaa Yili, a suburb of Tamale, on Tuesday afternoon. The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) said the blaze started at about 3:29 p.m. and spread through the compound house. Firefighters said they were able to rescue the two children who were trapped inside and prevented the flames from engulfing the entire building. The Ghana National Fire Service said investigations are underway. Mr Ibrahim served as the Member of Parliament for Tamale Central until his death.
